London's Morcheeba is a new name in the trip-hop genre. Who Can We Trust is the debut of this trio consisting of singer Skye Edwards, Ross Godfrey (guitar and keyboards) and Paul Godfrey (drums and sampling). The group already scored an underground hit in England with the almost nine minutes long song Who Can You Trust ?, which can of course also be found on this CD. Morcheeba makes a strong debut
… with Who Can You Trust ?. It is certainly not a copy of Portishead or Massive Attack albums. The group has its own sound. It all sounds a bit more accessible and a bit less gloomy, dreamy and languid. With songs like Tape Loop, Never An Easy Way, Howling and the truly beautiful atmospheric Col (accompanied by a string quartet!), The group also plays a number of pop songs. Who Can We Trust? is without doubt a pleasant introduction to Morcheeba!more
