Zerova (Herb Recordings) - Soft, Calm, Cold, Sleepy and Nice

I hadn't planned to go with Zerova first, when I initially recieved the mp3's from Herb. However, "Unnamed Place" has grew on me so much over the last week or so it is now my favourite track from the six.

This quartet are from Bialystock, Poland, recently moving from the city to the more tranquil surroundings of the countryside. This has allowed them to hone their musicianship and develop their sound, which takes its cues from Sigur Ros, DNTEL, The Album Leaf and Mum.

Much like the aforementioned bands, Zerova employ organic instrumentation but use it in electronica structures. They have been well known in their homeland for sometime now, notching up a host of Radio and TV appearences. This prompted Herb to act, and sign up Zerova, releasing their recent " I Think We've Lost" album, which you can order via Itunes (please note cd versions will be released soon too.) . Here's some info from the Herb Blog.

But, it's best to leave it to Zerova to describe their sound...
