Better known as two-thirds of U.K. trip-hop act Morcheeba, Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey branched out in 2016 with a new duo. In 2014, Skye & Ross decided to create a studio project that would more closely mirror Morcheeba's more organic live show. Eschewing electronic elements and high-tech contemporary studios, they recorded their debut album largely in their homes, using members of their families (and Morcheeba keyboardist Richard Milner) as their backing band. In the process, they created something much closer to the style that had made Morcheeba famous, incorporating elements of trip-hop, jazz, rock, and soul. Their album Skye & Ross was released in 2016, and the duo toured in its support, playing Morcheeba favorites alongside their new material. ~ John D. Buchanan
