Massive Attack

I'm sure all you little funky monkeys already know legendary music makers Massive Attack brought a new album out last week. I've checked a few of the tracks out and it's pretty good. Here's the new single for you to preview -



Here's a video for one of the new tracks by award winning French director Edouard Salier -

I love this video. It's beautiful and strange and haunting. I'm not sure what it's all about but I like it.

One of the foounding memebers of Massive Attack was influential street artist 3D and as a group they've always had brilliant artwork. The new album is available in a deluxe vinly and iTunes version with lots of artwork included, which is what I'm going to go for i reckon. Here's some of the artwork on their blog -
