About Morcheeba
The sonically eclectic UK band Morcheeba first earned acclaim at the height of the โ90s trip-hop era. Theyโve remained a defining voice of electronic music for over two decades
โข In their teens, siblings Paul and Ross Godfreyโa DJ and multi-instrumentalist, respectivelyโleft their hometown of Kent, England, for London, where they met vocalist Skye Edwards and formed Morcheeba.
โข The groupโs 1996 debut album, Who Can You Trust?, featured a trip-hop sound that sparked countless Portishead comparisons. Fans of the LP included former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, who invited the trio to collaborate on his 1997 album Feelings.
โข Morcheeba broke into the mainstream with their 1998 album Big Calm. The platinum-certified LP became their first Top 20 UK placement.
โข In 2000, Morcheeba made their Billboard 200 debut with Fragments of Freedom, their last album before Skyeโs departure from the group.
โข Two short-lived replacement vocalists later, the Godfreys convinced Skye to rejoin the group. In 2010, the original trio issued their first album in a decade, Blood Like Lemonade.
โข Following Paul Godfreyโs 2014 departure, the remaining bandmates released one album as Skye & Ross before dropping another Morcheeba project, Blaze Away, in 2018. The latter hit No. 5 on Billboardโs Top Dance/Electronic Albums.
