Paul Weller 'Green' (The Early Years Remix)

Spaced-out analogue synth hooks; motorik drum pops; layered waves of guitar, bass and drums; vocals ghosting in-and-out of the machine; zerOset blend decades of influences, as a modern nod to Harmonia, Cluster, and Kraftwerk.

Ten crafted tracks leave melodies to loop, for the trio to bury heads in the delicate focus of rhythm and timbre. Opening with the effortless motor of Complicity, a white knuckle drive through layers of sniping laser-synth, tunnel visions until the drums just roll over and die in a warm mist of electric hiss, paving the way for what follows... a textured, deep blend of inspired rhythmic electronica.

And, just when you think you’ve got it, they slip into the cool, exhilarating, exploratory washes of trance-inducing, tribal rhythms (St Cloud & Near Unison), pushed to the nth by comrade Tim Holmes (Death in Vegas), lending hands and ears to his thunderous, brooding mix of The Drift, soothed by the entirely unforeseen... a calypso sea of tranquillity that is The Memory Case. And, repeat.

After endless improv sets; three days- and-nights with as much equipment as they could rack into a live room... followed by 10 months of structuring, shaping, broken hard-drives, restructuring, and reshaping; this is Polarise, the debut record by zerOset.
