Escape The Chaos (Hol) Music CD

Morcheeba make a blistering return with a stunning new album, Escape the Chaos on 100% Records. The exquisite new single 'We Live and Die' showcases a stunning vocal from Skye and cinematic production by Ross Godfrey. "For me, 'We Live and Die' is about my duration in the band and the music world and life in general," Skye says of the track. "The lines become blurred after all this time. In a way, it's a homage to the thirty years of being in Morcheeba which is 60% of my existence." Escape the Chaos is Morcheeba's 11th studio album and follows their 2021 release Blackest Blue. This new album effortlessly shows why they are trip-hop royalty. Family is key to their longevity. At an early album session in Dublin, Ross and Skye were joined by her son Jaega on drums and her husband Steve Gordon on bass, both mainstays of their live band. Album highlight 'Elephant Clouds' emerged from those sessions as did the tough, beat driven 'Bleeding Out'. Adding to the family affair was Ross' wife, French singer Amanda Zamolo, who contributed lyrics and vocals on the track Pareidolia having previously worked with the band on the albums 'Deep Dive' and Blaze Away'. Other guest contributions include rapper Oscar #Worldpeace on the riveting Peace of Me, a succinct plea to fix the world's obsession with conflict. The title track closes the album. "This whole record is a process of trying to reconnect with what really matters. Whether it's what in your heart or with the world, putting your feet on grass and feeling the earth beneath you." Says Ross.
