Zero 7 is the London duo of Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker, downtempo/trip-hop producers who met working as studio engineers at RAK Studios - where they engineered for artists like the Pet Shop Boys and Robert Plant - before launching their own act. Their sound leans on lush, cinematic arrangements built around rotating guest vocalists; When It Falls (2004), home to 'Passing By,' followed their Mercury Prize-nominated debut Simple Things. Sophie Barker, the London-based singer on this track, was one of those regular collaborators (she also sang on the Zero 7 favorite 'Destiny,' alongside Sia) before building her own solo career. Genuinely impressive: after a long hiatus, Binns and Hardaker returned in 2024 with a new full-length, In the Half Light, alongside singer Swim Surreal, their first studio album since 2009.
