Massive Attack rope in famous voices for new album

massive attack

Massive Attack have revealed that Damon Albarn and Tunde Adebimpe will lend their vocals to the band's next album.

The pair, along with ex-Mazzy Star singer Hope Sandoval, will guest on Weather Underground, Massive Attack's first new material since 2003.

The band play tonight at London's Brixton Academy; DiS will be there, nodding gently. No release date for the new album has yet been confirmed.



Interesting...

Loved 100th Window, hopefully they can follow it up well.

They were ace the other night in Brummy.

I

always wanted to have a band called Weather Underground, but felt it sounded a bit too similar to the Velvets, so I didn't.

My lack of musical ability also contributed.

And I hope this sounds like the first two records (i.e. great) rather than the last two (i.e. shit).

Mezzanine shit?

or are you talking about 100th Window and that Danny the Dog soundtrack or whatever it was called.

All I can say is

TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw them last night at Brixton.

It was good.
I think I was expecting it to be so much better but I was kind of let down. Just thought the whole sound was going to be so much more bigger.

Still....look forward to the new stuff.

Brixton last night

Thought it was a bit dull although they got better as it went on

Not the most satisfying £25 I've ever spent

patton!

mike patton is also on a few tracks apparently,
this should be a bloomin' good album

Cannot wait

YEAH!

weather undergound

that would be the name of the 2nd and somewhat underrated Geneva record

Mental production by Howie B

Amnesia Valley? Tuuuuuuuune

such a nice thing

that someone knows that geneva album. amazing record.

Did they not

mention that Robert Smith has done some vocals on it too?

Shoddy press release that.

Shoddy?

I'd say the PR was on the nail. Any mention of Big Bobby Smith would damage Massive Attack's stock no end surely shirley?

the man sang love cats.

just leave it.

Hope Sandoval...

*swoon*
