Blaze Away represents a triumphant homecoming for Morcheeba, reuniting the core creative force of Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey. The sound is an effortless distillation of everything that made them trip-hop royalty in the late 90s, but it is delivered with a contemporary sheen and a renewed sense of purpose. It feels like a warm, urban breeze, carrying the scent of rain on hot pavement and the distant hum of a city waking up to the night. The production is lush and deep, anchored by basslines that feel like they are being played directly into your marrow, while Ross's guitar work adds a layer of psychedelic grit that prevents the track from becoming too polished.
