"The late '90s saw the advent of new subgenres variously dubbed trip-hop, downtempo, electronica and chillwave. The overall style was exemplified by Massive Attack, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, Zero 7...and Thievery Corporation. Deeply hypnotic melodies, sophisticated arrangements, top-flight guest vocalists and an undeniably sexy vibe are among the hallmarks of the music. Decades later, it still sounds fresh. Thievery Corporation was and remains better than most in blending world music elements into the heady mix."
"They haven't released new music in years, but that doesn't have to be what a live show is about. Thievery Corporation Sat, Dec 27, 8pm, $107 Guild Theatre, Menlo Park"

Thievery Corporation excels at blending world music elements into the heady mix. The band has not released new music in years, but successful live shows do not require recent recordings.
