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
Zola Blood

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). Originating in different areas of the country, the four met in East London's Hackney Wick in 2013.

The band released their first EP, Meridian, in October 2014. In 2015, the band teamed up with jazz musician Richard Formby (The Jazz Butcher) and released the single "Play Out/Pieces of the Day". On this track, they experimented with modular synths and outboard gear in a lengthy studio session spanning south London and Leeds.

In 2016, they began work on their debut LP Infinite Games. They collaborated with various other musicians including Oli Bayston (Boxed In) and Duncan Tootill. The album's first single, "Heartbeat", was released in July 2016 and blended pop and techno influences. "Islands" followed on New Year's Eve and featured on a number of major Spotify playlists, including the US New Music Friday playlist. The album was released in May 2017.

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...

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.

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!

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

Zola Blood are incredible, beautiful song craft and so addictively melodic. The new material is great too.

"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.

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

Oh wait… all of that is bad.

I think so, too. Thought it was a Radiohead tune I'd not heard.
