Blackest blue

"London-based Morcheeba once passed as a Thievery Corporation with actual songs, or a less jazzy Olive, or like Massive Attack without the paranoia and the politics. But whether it's called downbeat, trip-hop, electro-pop, or neo-soul, it's the human presence amongst all the gear that distinguishes them. Fundamentally they are musicians, and their chops playing real instruments have enabled them to roll up any genre they like into their pop smoke".

"Morcheeba's Blackest Blue is fresh and stunning, the songssome of the most vital and innovative in the outfit's 25 years. The LP is sophisticated and elegant but gritty, like funky, bluesy Deco".

"It would have been easy for Morcheeba to keep returning to one aspect of their sound that brought them to prominence at the outset of their career. Instead, the pair do what they have always done which is push forward. Blackest Blue represents Morcheeba in the moment: bold, mercurial, and enthralling. It is an album that you are meant to experience-don't miss out".
