"Trigger Hippie" comes from Who Can You Trust?, Morcheeba's 1996 album, and it's trip-hop at its most unhurried. Paul Godfrey handles the drums and the turntables, Ross Godfrey layers bass, guitar, keyboards and synthesizer, and Skye's voice floats over the top like smoke curling off an ashtray. The three of them wrote it together, and the band produced it with Pete Norris, who threw in more synth, while Chris Harrison engineered. Head-nodding, slow-burning stuff, the sort of groove built for the hours after midnight.
