Last month, trip-hop elder gods took the stage in Gothenburg, Sweden to play their first live show in five years. They performed alongside two of their greatest collaborators, Cocteau Twins leader Elizabeth Fraser and reggae legend Horace Andy. Shortly afterward, they were announced as part of the lineup for Miami’s III Points festival — their first North American show since their Mezzanine XXI tour finished up in 2019. We were hoping that gig would lead to more North American shows, and we’re getting what we wanted.
