When Morcheeba released their first post-Skye Edwards CD ("The Antedote") back in 2005, I was among the many who were deeply disappointed. The replacement lead singer had limited vocal range and the songs were a bit rough-edged when compared to the band's previous catalog.
The singer on that album has been jettisoned and, over the last few months, the band has been in the studio recording some new material. The final product, expected to be released sometime this autumn, will be called "Dive Deep" and will feature rotating "guest" lead singers.
Two of the new tracks have been posted on the band's MySpace page, and if they are any indication of what the entire album will sound like, then it would seem Morcheeba might just have their groove back.
Click here for the two new tracks. They are called "Enjoy the Ride" and "Gain the World."
