Massive Attack
While talking to Clash Music, Massive Attack’s Daddy G let it be known that they’re planning a collaboration with dubstep producer Burial. The project would be similar to the No Protection album, which involved dub producer Mad Professor rejiggering most of Protection, but this would be based on their still untitled fifth LP, coming in February. Daddy G added that “we’ve been listening to a lot of the stuff that he does and he’s just amazing. The way he does his layers, his drums and stuff like that. The dubstep thing is amazing, there’s a lot of really good people there – Kode9 is great as well. These kids are just amazing and we want to be part of that.” Count me in. Massive Attack’s up there in my top two favorite bands/artists and Burial’s amazing. I only hope it comes to fruition, as Burial remains an artist who’s difficult to pin down to projects.
Massive Attack’s Splitting the Atom was released earlier this week. The four track EP serves as a prelude to the much anticipated full album in February.
