Morcheeba have announced a huge London show on the 9th December 2021 at the O2 Academy in Brixton. Their new album Blackest Blue is out on the 14th May.
To celebrate the release of their new album Blackest Blue – out through their own label Fly Agaric Records on 14th May, Morcheeba have announced a huge headline London show at O2 Academy Brixton on Thursday 9th December 2021.
Pioneers of the British music scene, Blackest Blue will be the band’s 10th studio album – the follow-up to 2018’s acclaimed Blaze Away it features 10 tracks, and includes collaborations with Duke Garwood (known for his work with Mark Lanegan, amongst others) and Brad Barr (The Slip, The Barr Brothers).
2020 saw Morcheeba unable to tour or perform live, which gave Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey time to really focus on getting their songs right. The result of this time is a refined collection that fuses previous incarnations and sound of the band – such as downbeat, chill, electro-pop & soul – into one cohesive record that delves into the soul of the band’s genre-mashing musical heritage. As usual, the band didn’t approach the album with any pre-conceptions, and instead created an organic journey that represents everything great about Morcheeba. Ultimately, “‘Blackest Blue’ is about finding a way through the darkest of times and emerging the other side changed but intact,” say the duo, summing up their most exciting project to date.
The band will be playing across the UK and at European festivals this summer. In the UK Morcheeba will headline the main stage of Pub In The Park in Dulwich on June 25th. Bands In The Sands, Perranporth Beach on July 24th. The Big Feastival’s main stage on Friday, August 27th. Victorious Festival in Portsmouth on Saturday 2th August. Gone Wild Festival with Bear Grylls in Kenton on Sunday August 29th followed by their own headline show at London O2 Academy Brixton on Thursday December 9th.
Tickets for the new London show go on sale 12pm on Friday 14th May and will be available from www.gigsandtours.com / www.ticketmaster.co.uk / www.morcheeba.uk
