Multi-million-selling darlings of down-tempo, Morcheeba, will release their sixth and latest album Dive Deep in the UK on February 4th through the Echo label. This release will be preceded by the download single Enjoy the Ride on January 28th.

Morcheeba's refusal to be categorised musically extends to the band's set-up, and in 2008, these pioneers of song-based dance music have become an eclectic and open-minded collective. The thoughts and experiments of brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey provide the blueprint, with the songs mainly co-written in the studio with guest vocal collaborators.

Vocal duties on Enjoy The Ride come from acclaimed singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke who Paul grew up listening to and has, he says, "a natural sense of melody - her voice is unique and extremely soulful"

The song came about after a long conversation about Los Angeles. Both Ross and Judie had just come back from there and when the chat ended the brothers wrote it in about 20 minutes. As Paul says, "It was perfect, one of our very best. It sounds like Fleetwood Mac in their prime."


Track-listing:
1. Enjoy The Ride
2. Enjoy The Ride. Silver Saver Mix
3. Enjoy The Ride. Aroe and The Soundmakers Mix
4. Enjoy the ride. Weekend Return - no frills mix

The video for Enjoy the Ride was produced by Tennessee based cartoon animator Joel Trussel, who's previous work includes videos for Coldcut, Kid606 and Paul Brill amongst others.

I'll believe it when I hear it.

I don't really want to listen to Morcheeba without Skye Edwards. That last album, save for one or two tracks, didn't really deserve to be called Morcheeba.
