“In The Waiting Line” by Zero 7 featuring Sophie Barker

"In the Waiting Line" was one of the singles English duo Zero 7 sent out ahead of Simple Things, their debut album, which arrived in April 2001. Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker wrote it with singer Sophie Barker and produced and mixed it themselves, with a flesh-and-blood rhythm section on the record: Jeremy Stacey on drums, Pete Trotman on bass, Dedi Madden on guitar.

Barker's voice floats over it, hushed and patient, and the whole track moves at the pace of a Sunday morning that never quite ends. It's chill-out music with a pulse, the kind of thing built for headphones and a dimmed room rather than the dance floor.
