Atlantic recording group Zero 7 has announced details of their upcoming retrospective collection, RECORD. The album will be released everywhere on July 13th.
To compile RECORD, Zero 7 aka Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns have combed through their back catalogue to compile a track list spanning their extraordinary ten-year history, including such classic tracks as Destiny,” “Home,” “Futures,” “In The Waiting Line,” and “Everything Up (Zizou)” (see attached tracklisting).  What’s more, a special digital deluxe edition of the album will include a collection of remixes and rarities personally selected by Hardaker and Binns.
Childhood friends Binns and Hardaker began their musical career as sound engineers before teaming up as Zero 7 to produce remixes for the likes of Radiohead, N.E.R.D., Sneaker Pimps and Lambchop.  In 2001 they captured the attention of music lovers around the world with their now-classic debut, “SIMPLE THINGS.”  That era-defining collection was followed by 2004’s acclaimed second album, “WHEN IT FALLS,” along with their contribution (“In The Waiting Line”) to the Grammy-winning soundtrack of Garden State.
“THE GARDEN” followed in 2006, featuring guest vocals from such like-minded stars as Sia and José González.  The album’s inimitable brand of ambient soul earned Zero 7 a bounty of critical praise, not to mention a Grammy Award nomination as the year’s “Best Electronic/Dance Album.”  Three years later, the duo returned with the bold “YEAH GHOST,” which featured a phalanx of guest vocalists, including singer/songwriters Eska and Martha Tilston, as well as a rare vocal from Binns himself on “Everything Up (Zizou).”
