THE ANTIDOTE is the sound of a band challenging and reinventing themselves embracing a whole raft of different influences and being far more adventurous than ever before. The record is more upbeat and raises the tempo to match the rough, edgy vocals that Daisy brings to the mix. The results are undeniably stamped with Morcheeba’s trademark mix of soul, funk and hip-hop, but now further coloured by a brazen acknowledgement of the band’s personal listening tastes.

THE ANTIDOTE is further proof that MORCHEEBA have the remedy.
