Skye Edwards has reunited with the remaining two thirds of Morcheeba (Paul and Ross Godfrey), recapturing the essence of the original formation. 'Even Though' is the first single of their 7th album Blood Like Lemonade; it's fresh, chilled and cemented by Skye's raw vocals. The lyrics are touching, simply intimate without a feeling of being in too deep; first delving under your skin, then comforting.
Posted below and more fitting to the newsicmoos way of life is Surfing Leon's Afternoon Mix, which guards the very core of the original; its intimacy and warmth is attractive and merges with subtle hints of rolling electro. It begins eerily; the original sounds as if someone is breathing through an astronaut's helmet (Skye makes reference to space in the first verse), though the remix seems to have replaced this with an ominous sound of whistling wind. Surfing Leon mixes fast and choppy electro beats, not losing the laid back feeling through alternating slow piano chords. Perfect for what Ross Godfrey referred to as a "3am ...spliffed-out" moment. A pretty typical Morcheeba release and we're more than happy about it.
