following up on my post from the other day...
i've got my hands on the new Massive Attack EP, Splitting the Atom
it is sounding amazing...
the title track resonates eerily...
"Pray for Rain", as i've already described, is delightfully slinky and soulful...
the last two tracks that appear on the EP are supposedly remixed versions of tracks set to appear on the band's long-awaited fifth studio album, slated to drop in February.
"psyche" features the spaced-out vocals of Martina Topley-Bird and the track's dark, bloopy production remind me warmly of one of my other favourite electronic releases of this year, Karin Dreijer Andersson's Fever Ray.
but the track that currently has me going slightly loopy is the final track from the EP, "Bulletproof Love (Christoff Berg Remix)". the vocals here are supplied by Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, although the downtrodden production renders his distinctive voice almost unrecognisable. it will be interesting to see how the "original" track sounds on the album, because this remix is going to be hard to match. swirling synths and echoe-chamber effects evoking clanging steel and urban industrialisation laid over a pulsating, muddy beat.
This slots perfectly into my "walking around at night music" file.
Somewhere very near the top of the pile.
