Morcheeba
Band London United Kingdom Formed 1995
Morcheeba formed in 1995 in London, United Kingdom. Morcheeba has 38 chart appearances on 33 radio countdowns from 9 stations on RockLists, spanning 1998–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Trigger Hippie”, which appears on 22 lists with a best position of #64. The station that charted Morcheeba most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 13 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2002.
Morcheeba came out of London in the mid-'90s when brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey went looking for a voice and found Skye Edwards. The Godfreys brought beats, guitars and a crate-digger's ear for folk and rock; Skye brought a cool, smoky croon that could make a hangover sound like a holiday. What they made was trip hop with its shoes off: downtempo grooves, rootsy guitar and sleepy soul.
Who Can You Trust?, in 1996, set the mood with "Trigger Hippie", a slow, stoned shuffle that stuck to alternative radio for years. Big Calm followed in 1998 and lived up to its name, "Part of the Process" gliding along on a warm, bluesy lilt, and Fragments of Freedom in 2000 got funkier and sunnier with "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day".
Skye left in 2003, and the brothers worked with a string of guest singers until she came back in 2010. Paul stepped away in 2014, and Skye and Ross carried on, putting out Escape the Chaos in 2025. That's eleven studio albums all told, two of them UK top ten hits.
