Biography

Studio engineers turned stars of chilled-out electronica, producers Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker (aka Zero 7) made their names remixing tracks for Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz, and Sneaker Pimps, spurred on by an old college friend, the producer Nigel Godrich. Full of ambient, sunsetting, Ibiza comedowns, their acclaimed debut Simple Things (2001) won a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize and the single "Destiny" was used in advertising campaigns, film soundtracks and on every dreamy, chillout compilation worth its salt. Working with guest vocalists Mozez, Sia and Tina Dico, the duo's follow-up When It Falls (2004) made it to Number 3 in the UK charts, before third effort The Garden (2006)—featuring Jose Gonzalez—was Grammy-nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album. Taking a different turn, they produced experimental, instrumental works under the names Ingrid Eto and Kling, before returning with soul star Eska Mtungwazi and folk singer Martha Tilston on their fourth studio album Yeah Ghost (2009). Arriving in 2010, Record: The Best of Zero 7, consolidated some of the groups's best material to date, followed by the 12" single, "On My Own" b/w "Don't Call It Love", released on their own label, Make Records, three years later. They stuck with Make Records for their next two releases, 2014's Simple Science EP and 2015's EP3, and after a three-year break—during which Henry Binns joined forces with Bo Bruce and Jodi Miliner to form Equador—they dropped "Mono" featuring Hidden. Several other singles followed in subsequent years, with the Shadows EP landing in October 2020, comprising four tracks by singer-songwriter Lou Stone. 2024 saw the release of the In the Half Light album by Swim Surreal, a new project co-written and produced by Zero 7.
