The Patient Zeros is a Denver, CO two-piece comprised of CJ Kjolhede and Joe Schramm. The duo is slated to release its debut album Polycardiac on April 17 before embarking on a Midwest tour alongside Jane Thatcher. Listen to “Hum” below. It’s a minimalist slow stomp built around handclaps and lush vocals. “Hum” is a solemn track compared to the more lively, blues-driven rock that has dominated the rest of the band’s early material, but an immediately addictive tune nonetheless. Indianapolis readers can catch The Patient Zeros at Birdy’s on April 23. (UPDATE: Name your price a digital download of Polycardiac via Bandcamp.)
