Morcheeba is an English electronic band formed in the mid-1990s. The founding members include vocalist Skye Edwards and brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey. Their unique sound combines elements of trip hop, rock, folk-rock, and downtempo. With eight studio albums under their belt since 1995, Morcheeba has established themselves as a prominent force in the music industry. Two of their albums even reached the UK top ten charts.

Pioneers of the British music scene, Blackest Blue will be the band's 10th studio album in a discography that spans three decades. 2020 saw Morcheeba unable to tour or perform live, which gave Skye Edwards &amp; Ross Godfrey "time to write songs and really get to hone them," as Godfrey puts it. "There weren't so many pressures so we could really take our time getting the songs right," adds Edwards.

The result of this time is a refined 10-track album that fuses previous incarnations and sound of the band - such as downbeat, chill, electro-pop &amp; soul - into one cohesive record that dives deep into the soul of the band's genre-mashing musical heritage. As usual, the band didn't approach the album with any preconceptions, and instead created an organic journey that represents everything great about Morcheeba. Edwards' lyrics are primarily focused on positivity and overcoming personal adversity that lies within. "Sounds Of Blue" is a stunning cut that puts Skye Edward's sultry vocals to the forefront, floating high above an ethereal backdrop. The album includes features with Duke Garwood (known for his work with Mark Lanegan, amongst others) and Brad Barr (The Slip, The Barr Brothers).
