Morcheeba is a British band mixing influences from trip hop, rhythm and blues and pop music combines.
The band was founded in 1995 by brothers DJ Paul Godfrey and Ross Godfrey and singer Skye Edwards.
The first album, Who Can You Trust (1996) contains clear influences of rock band Massive Attack. The subsequent albums Big Calm (1998), Fragments of Freedom (2000) and Charango (2002) are clearly less dark and melancholic, and tend more toward pop music and trip hop.
After appearance of an album with highlights, Parts of the Process, in april 2004, Skye Edwards left the band, reportedly because the Godfrey brothers another musical direction on wanted. Daisy Martey, former member of the band Noonday Underground, came in the place of Skye and took care of the vocals on the album The Antidote, that appeared on 5 May 2005. For the livetournee was replaced by another singer, Jody M. Sternberg. In 2010 singer Skye Edwards returned back to the two brothers and she was featured on the album Blood Like Lemonade.
Morcheeba is known to the general public of the fire-advertising, with the song Wonders never Cease.
