When It Falls
Zero 7
This follow-up project expands upon the cinematic atmosphere established by the group. The result is a somber experience that evokes the feeling of driving through a city during a rainstorm. It marks a clear departure from the lighter energy found on their first work.
Production relies on the downtempo and trip-hop styles common in the electronic scene of the early 2000s. The arrangements utilize organic instrumentation and vocal harmonies to build the mood. By balancing these elements, the record creates a specific aesthetic that avoids typical genre trends of the period.
