Zero 7 June 3, 2006

Zero 7, aka Sam Hardaker & Henry Binns, are back on the road again in support of their third album, "The Garden". Recorded mainly in the Somerset countryside, at Henry's home studio, "The Garden" was written & produced by Zero 7 & mixed by Phill Brown (Brian Eno/Talk Talk) with some recording taking place at The Hospital studio in London with Nigel Godrich. This album sees Zero 7 take a more playful, sunny, upbeat music direction, whilst still maintaining their trademark sound & could well turn out to be the perfect soundtrack to the summer. Jose Gonzalez, whose honeyed vocals perfectly compliment Zero 7's lush sound, features on four tracks, the limited edition first single, "Futures," & a reworking of "Crosses" from his own album, "Veneer." Long time cohort Sia Furler sings solo on three tracks as well as dueting with Zero 7's own Henry Binns on two other tracks.
