Morcheeba Dover-born brothers/cheeba-heads Paul and Ross Godfrey were sick of the deluge of artists who were using the term "trip hop" as an excuse to create utterly weird, unfocused, musical anarchy with no solid song structure. After hooking up with singer Skye Edwards at a party in London in ‘94, the trio came up with a set of atmospheric, largely somnambulant, hip hop-indebted songs that were more accessible -- songs that paid greater attention to melody and arrangement than some of their "trickier" peers. Amidst a post-Portishead, trip-hop feeding frenzy, their 1996 debut Who Can You Trust? offered a blend of psychedelic, ‘60s influenced pop, moody beats, scratching, and spacey synth effects, with Skye’s resonant voice filling in the cracks with elliptical, sullen, sarcastic lyrics. The album spawned the hits “Trigger Hippie” and “Tape Loop.” Their follow-up, 1998’s Big Calm, shared the same basic components, but in different proportions: less somnambulant funk, more psychedelia, less trip hop, more ‘60s-influenced alterna-pop. By the time they got to their third disc, 2000’s Fragments Of Freedom, they were sick of the down-tempo stuff. Accordingly, the new record delivered a festive, uplifting mix of old skool hip hop, funk, pop and disco, all marked with Paul and Ross’ quirky fingerprints. |
