Zomby remains such a singular and interesting figure within the music industry that the mooted legal kerfuffle surrounding "Natalia's Song" led James Holden to recently remark (via Twitter) with more than a degree of humour that it was perhaps the first instance of a European intellectual stealing from a Russian. This one sided ten inch comes ahead of the producer's keenly anticipated new album for the 4AD imprint, sampling and stuttering Russian Star Factory singer Irina Dubtzova and wrapping her voice around skeletal programming and heart melting melodies. Housed in deluxe packaging and first heard closing out Mary Anne Hobbes' tenure on Radio One, it's a little slice of niceness this.
