Blood Like Lemonade is the seventh studio album by the British band Morcheeba, released on 7 June 2010 in the United Kingdom. The album marks the return of former lead singer Skye Edwards, who left the band in 2003.[5] The first single released was "Even Though". The producer, Paul Godfrey, said, "This is the record we should have made after Big Calm [Morcheeba's second album, released in 1998] but we had to travel treacherous terrains to get back to our natural habitat."

The group embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom, Europe and the US to promote the album in autumn 2010.[6]
