Sent west, senseless and way out
Let the hours unfold the answers
In our wasteland, baby

Let the rain through your hands
Let the rain through your hands

Always I'll take good love
Or anything that might save our place for a little longer

Gold pressed temptress of silence
Let the morning call unanswered
And ransom the day off

Let the rain through your hands
Let the rain through your hands

Always I'll take good love
Or anything that might save our place for a little longer

Damn, I only just realized how sophisticated and intricate the production on this track is after listening to it on decent headphones instead of decent speakers! Mind = blown!

i think it's the underlying synth/percussion and bass. great tune - good album

Hmmm, I'm listening to this thinking "this is pretty good", go to iTunes to put it on my wish list and find that I already purchased it.  Maybe that means I finally have too much music to listen to it all, or else senility is finally settling in...




Welcome to the club; I cannot remember when I joined.
Zola Blood are incredible, beautiful song craft and so addictively melodic. The new material is great too.

9 here, for now 
The album cover gives me strong Dark the series vibes
A mature and calm Depeche Mode. Liking this very much!
Great song. Thanks for playing

Somewhat reminiscent of Syntax

"Yes!" to both of your musings, BUT, I'm sure you have lots of fellow travellers on that boat, myself included.  
I blame Bill for stacking RP with great artists and  tunes that send me to iTunes to stock up just in case RP gets sucked into a galactic black hole - just like I l keep a pantry full of items that would enable me to feed the neighborhood for a week in the event of an apocalypse.
Bill and Rebecca love Zola Blood and I realized that they're right.
This one is growing on me

Both could be true.
great follow up tune after Fever Ray - moody and I'm in the mood for it

I think so, too. Thought it was a Radiohead tune I'd not heard.
This following Fever Ray.... Now that's a killer segue

This has everything I like. Droning indecipherable lyrics. Incessant repetetive drum machine.  Inane synthesized bass line.

Oh wait… all of that is bad.

Just hit that "next track" button that Bill so kindly provided us ;)

Welcome.  It doesn't get any better.
Although I’m a little baffled by 4 plays over the last 30 days?
Like it. Great while I’m doing crunches at the gym. 7

Does anyone know who the singer is?
I wonder if he is the same as from Younger Brother back in the day?!
 
The wiki-pop-up for Zola Blood shows:  

Zola Blood is an electronic music quartet from London, active since 2014.

The band consists of Matt West (vocals), Ed Smith (synths), Sam Cunnington (drums), and Paul Brown (guitars). 

Younger Brother is an electronic duo formed in 2003 by Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan. Their debut album A Flock of Bleeps was released in 2003, followed by The Last Days of Gravity in 2007 and Vaccine in 2011.
And in that moment, I swear this is infinite love. 7

Great song and yes, still relevant in many ways. Thanks for this one, Bill!
Good indietronica!

Stop whining.

Lovely track - subtle, subdued, brooding.

I have been saving all my Beatles albums for just those moments

Nice feel of Radiohead, Steven Wilson and a touch of Depeche Mode FTW. Really like this track and band!
 
I have to keep checking to make sure it's not Thom on the speakers!~ Like them too!
Like everything I've heard so far from them.  Beautiful & mellow.

Really cool cover art. Music is pretty, but the drumbeat gets a just a wee bit monotonous.

 
Bot beat?

Odd, fairly highly rated song with only 8 comments?  Maybe we're too 'in the groove' with it to pause to comment?  Well....I've rated it an 8 at least a year ago, staying there, and LONG LIVE RP!!
LOVE the hat on the album cover!  Where can I get one before Halloween?
First thing that came to my mind was Porcupine Tree.

This is nice. Wish I had been paying attention before the last 2 measures!

 
Hahah, oh well, apparently I didn't miss all that much! SBTRKT and Sampha do it better, IMO.

Great new band (to my ears)

edit;  I have now listened to this album a few times and I love it.  Some superb tracks, with beautiful vocal performances.
