Morcheeba presents a new album Blackest Blue in Kyiv

Trip-hop is a mysterious genre, and its representatives usually have a certain mystery. And Morcheeba has been enticing fans for years with its mystique, unexpectedly warm, like a summer evening, music, and the undoubted charisma of frontwoman Sky Edwards. Morcheeba - out of trends, out of change, out of time. With their new album Blackest Blue, the band proves once again that it is able to reinvent its genre and remain unique - "we are always trying to find a sound that should already exist, but does not yet exist," confirms the concept of the band's co-founder Ross Godfrey.

We will hear the new material on September 12, 2021 on the stage of the South Coast.

In March 2020, Skye and Ross completed another long tour - they could travel the world for years, each time to a different country - and suddenly their calendar was empty. After parking the tour bus, they began to write their tenth album Blackest Blue. Already in December, ten songs about family and romantic relationships and their breakup, about love and kinship were ready.

If on the Morcheeba tour there is a band of five musicians, in the Morcheeba studio it is only Skye and Ross, who plays guitar, slide guitar and bass guitar, keyboards and percussion. However, in quarantine, Skye learned to play the cello, and Ross persuaded her to play for the album - so Skye's play can be heard on the Falling Skies track.

After all, "Blackest Blue is an album about going through the hardest and how to get out of it changed but undamaged," the band said. Skye and Ross allowed themselves to relax and play, following only their own emotions. "I wrote a poem about my impressions of freediving in Thailand," says Skye of the single Sounds of Blue.

"We wanted to sound like a song lost in 1969, like a gloomy Morricone-style soundtrack ... But Skye's voice sounds like sweet molasses, so we wanted to contrast it with a rough male voice," Ross continues. Seduced by the live performance of the traditional American folk band The Barr Brothers, Ross turned to their vocalist Brad Barr and exchanged with him a few ideas for a joint track - so came the piano ballad Say It's Over. After the first two lines, Brad said, "I think it's safe to say it's a parting song."

It's not all stories of new Morcheeba songs, but it's not time to reveal all the cards. We will hear these and other new tracks at the presentation of Blackest Blue on September 12 in Kyiv.
