Release Notes:
The most groove-oriented act in the mid-'90s female-fronted electronica crowd,
Morcheeba rely on the sweet, fluid vocals of Skye Edwards and a laid-back mix of
fusion, funk, and blues produced by brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey, on
beats/scratches and guitar/keyboards, respectively. The trio was formed in 1995
when the Godfreys decided to go out on their own after co-producing six tracks
for David Byrne's album Feelings. They submitted several tapes of their
instrumental demos to labels around London, but received little interest in
return. After hooking up with vocalist Edwards at a party, however, their music
began to gel and Morcheeba signed to the China label. After the release of two
EPs (Trigger Hippie and Music That We Hear), the trio issued its debut album,
Who Can You Trust? It appeared on the American Discovery label in late 1996, and
Morcheeba toured the U.S. with Live and Fiona Apple the following year. Big Calm
followed in 1998 and Fragments of Freedom was released two years later. Charango
appeared in 2002 and featured guest appearances from Lambchop's Kurt Wagner and
rapper Slick Rick. A year later, the greatest-hits collection Parts of the
Process was released and Skye Edwards left the band. Former Noonday Underground
vocalist Daisy Martey joined the group for 2005's The Antidote, a more acoustic
album that mixed psychedelia with Burt Bacharach-styled pop. Dive Deep (2008)
took a marked turn toward folk, with the Godfreys using a revolving door of
vocalists who included Thomas Dybdahl, Judie Tzuke, and Bradley Burgess. Skye
Edwards returned to the fold for 2010's Blood Like Lemonade.
