In a world choked with sound, for the last few years it’s been hard to find anything that lingers, anything that grows with you rather than on you, any relationship between audience and artist with that special fidelity that goes beyond infatuation and becomes love. Morcheeba are that rare thing: a band to love but also a band that keeps you guessing, that refuse flatly to co-operate with the safe maxims of stasis and repetition that make so much modern pop so damn predictable. Here is a band with a totally unique relationship with anyone who hears them: perhaps the only band on earth to demand that you expect the unexpected and then actually deliver on that promise.It’s a willful genius that beamed in from nowhere, or suburban Kent as it was known back in the inter of 95 when a beguilingly unannounced twelve-inch called "Trigger Hippie" dropped into the world’s lap and slipped under the skin. Everyone who heard it has never forgotten it, it’s mix of broken beats and busted blues immediately surpassing any trip-hop comparisons the lazy could sling at it, hinting at an emotional depth and musical reach far beyond the vagaries of any passing scene. It came from a trio called Morcheeba made up of two brothers, Paul and Ross Godfrey, and a singer, Skye, who could draw tears with her throat.When the album that followed emerged soon after there could be no more doubt: 96’s "Who can youtrust" still ranks as one of the finest suites of misery a British band had ever given us. The sublime mix of Paul’s hypnotically heavy beatscapes, Ross’ fluidly searing guitar work and Skye’s perfectly responsive voice all sounding like they’d been waiting all their lives to find each other and only had an hour to speak the truth. An album borne out of frustrating small-town lives for the two brothers, in which only their mutual obsession with hip-hop and blues afforded exorcism.On moving to London and hooking up with a similarly loose-ended Skye at a house-party, the trio submerged themselves in sound for three months to produce what they then thought could be their only chance of ever being heard. That the album, and the increasingly successful singles it spawned ("Tape Loop", "Never An Easy Way") found such a huge response amongst the public was testament to the word-of-mouth, almost secret love Morcheeba were already cultivating in anyone with ears to listen. It also took the band around the world, making friends with heroes (David Byrne personally asked the boys to work on his solo album) and tearing up America with a level of acclaim their contemporaries and enemies in Britpop couldn’t get near.With 98’s "Big Calm" Morcheeba did something bands aren’t meant to do anymore. They changed. Progressed. Moved on, blew up the template, maintained the essentially melancholic tint but expanded their debut’s blue-n-black confinement into a full-blooded riot of pop colour and warped craft. Trawling wider through the trio’s musical obsessions, diving into dub, folk, soul, hip-hop, and psychedelia but always suffused with their own uniquely intuitive songwriting skill, it was declared album of the year by those supposedly in the know, and has racked up a million sales since amongst those who know even better.
