British band Morcheeba has reunited with lead singer Skye Edwards, and will release brand new album ‘Blood Like Lemonade’ through PIAS Records on June 7th.
Leading up to the release of the album, Morcheeba is also to release a new single, ‘Even Though’, and that will be available for download from May 24th.
‘Blood Like Lemonade’ is Morcheeba’s seventh studio album to date, and band member Paul Godfrey has had the following to say about the use of lyrics on the album:
The lines about “the hidden dangers” and being “cast adrift in space” reflect worries about humanity. That was inspired by reading interviews with astronauts – they’d get into space and look back at the world, and couldn’t understand why people were still fighting with each other, and why we were destroying our own planet, that was so beautiful from a distance. The heavy breathing sound is an astronaut breathing in his helmet. He doesn’t have long to live, and at the end his breathing stops. He’s basically just trying to send a message that we should all get along.
As well as having a brand new album set for release soon, Morcheeba will also be touring throughout June/July, and you’ll be able to catch the band at the following venues and events:
