After a few mild teases in the last few days on their social media channels, Massive Attack announced today the arrival of a new 3 track EP entitled Eutopia. So at least we can say that 2020 isn’t a total write-off at least!
Mezzanine will be 20 years old now this April. I don’t know about you but I definitely feel a bit older having typed that. Mezzanine was my gateway drug into not only Massive Attack but into alternative and electronic music in general. Bear in mind I was in my earlier teens at the time, but Mezzanine really shook me up the first few months I listened to it and changed my opinion of what music could be.
Another year nearly over and I’d thought I’d better write a quick blog post about what Massive Attack have been up to in 2017. Compared to 2016, this year has been relatively quiet, but we can only hope behind the scenes that its also been a good productive year for the band and that we can expect new music (and maybe, just maybe, a new album!) in 2018.
Embedded at the top of this post is a new documentary entitled “Where Do You Draw The Line?” from WordSmith Productions who have generously uploaded the entire hour long documentary to Vimeo for free as of today.
Following on from the first two EP’s (Ritual Spirit and The Spoils) Massive Attack have released so far this year, we have two more brand new tracks on separate releases on the same day today. Both of these tracks can be previewed as one minute samples in this post.
Massive Attack’s debut album, Blue Lines came out in April 1991, so you’ll have to forgive me as I’m nearly 6 months behind on writing this post to mark its 25th anniversary.
While Massive Attack are busying themselves with touring around Europe this month, earlier today on BBC6 Music we got the first taste of what presumably is the next Massive Attack EP. When the Ritual Spirit EP came out last January we were promised at the time another EP (with Daddy G taking the reins from 3D), that would come out in the Summer. Well it looks like that promise has been delivered upon.
In my time as a Massive Attack fan while loving their music of course, I’ve also been an avid collector of the band’s physical releases. CD’s vinyls, cassettes, promos etc… you name it, if its got the Massive Attack name on it I’ve probably either bought it or am still trying to find it! I’ve even dedicated a section of this site (Discography) to listing and detailing all of these said releases.
We’re roughly halfway through Massive Attack’s 2016 tour, which has just finished its UK leg before hitting the rest of Europe, so its about time for a news update post covering all that’s been going on in the last couple of weeks.
