Zero 7’s debut album ‘Simple Things’ sold over a million copies and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and the band as Best Newcomer at the Brit Awards. The album featured singers Sia, Sophie Barker and Mozez. ‘When It Falls’ followed with the same guest vocalists along with Danish singer Tina Dico. Their third album ‘The Garden’ was nominated for a Grammy Award with singers Jose Gonzalez and Sia. Two further albums ‘Yeah Ghost’ and a best of ‘Record’ completed their time with Atlantic Records.
Now, as a Record Store Day exclusive, we are proud to present an exclusive boxset. Four of the tracks are taken ‘Simple Things’: ‘Destiny (ft. Sia & Sophie Barker)’, ‘In The Waiting Line (ft. Sophie Barker)’, ‘Distractions (ft. Sia)’ & ‘I Have Seen (ft. Mozez)’. Three come from ‘When It Falls’: ‘Home’, ‘In Time’ & ‘Somersault’ (split across 2 sides). Another four are drawn from from ‘The Garden’ ‘Futures’ & ‘Today’ (both featuring José González)’, ‘Pageant Of The Bizarre (ft. Sia)’ & the instrumental ‘Dreaming’. The final 2 come from 2009’s ‘Yeah Ghost’: ‘Swing (ft. Binki Shapiro)’ & ‘Pop Art Blue (ft. Martha Tilston)’.
The artwork has been made by the bands’ original design collaborator – Julian House, director of creative agency ‘Intro’ – using elements & samples from their iconic ‘Simple Things’ album artwork. This is the 1st time some of these tracks have been made available on vinyl & all of them have never been cut as 7”s.
