175.massiveattack

Toronto – 7 long years. That’s almost two presidential terms (or about 8 Canadian elections). This is the amount of time between Massive Attack albums. Their fifth album, Heligoland is coming out on February 9th. I am quite excited about it. Granted, I was not the biggest fan of 100th Window, but their previous albums speak for themselves. The latest album brings along a plethora of guest vocalists, including Guy Harvey (of Elbow), Damon Albarn (of Blur), Hope Sandoval,Martina Topley-Bird (of Tricky) and of course, Horace Andy. Anyways, a new album means a possible tour, and if the Carlu show from a few years ago (one of my all time concert highlights) is any indication, then I’ll definitely be there when they come around again.

Watching this gives me chills

    My excitement for new Massive Attack is really lessened by how much I just plain didn’t like the Splitting the Atom EP they put out in 2009. Quite disappointing. Still, everyone should see them play ‘Angel’ live at least once in their lifetimes. I nearly passed out when they played it at Coachella ’06. Ecstatic overload.
