Morcheeba (less stress)

Trip-hoppers extraordinaire Morcheeba have been bringing the chills for three decades now, and they’ll be bringing the bliss when they play The Glasshouse this November.

Morcheeba proved that they’re still at the very top of their game with the release of last year’s ‘Escape the Chaos’ album. The record is a gorgeous blend of Skye Edwards’ effortless, velvet vocals and Ross Godfrey’s lush, organic-meets-electronic production. Packed with sonic warmth, it serves as a timely reminder of why their pioneering sound has provided the ultimate soundtrack for winding down ever since the mid-nineties. Fans can look forward to a setlist that strikes a seamless balance between fresh, atmospheric material and the timeless classics that defined an era. Hearing staples like ‘The Sea’, ‘Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day’, and ‘Trigger Hippie’ delivered with such laid-back precision is bound to capture hearts. Three decades deep into their career, Morcheeba remain the absolute authority on cool, comforting grooves. Whether you’re a long-time devotee or simply looking to retreat from the outside noise for an evening, expect a deeply restorative night of pure musical escapism. JL

Morcheeba, Monday 9 November, The Glasshouse, Gateshead, 7.30pm, £32.90, theglasshouseicm.org
