Massive Attack Make Middling Comeback

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 10, 2006 4:00 pm
I know it's not a good idea to get wound up about shows, but sometimes it can't be helped. I love Massive Attack. From Jonathan Glazer's Shining homage video for "Karma Coma," I was hooked. They were moody assholes, best exemplified by their hilariously awful Mezzanine interview on MuchMusic with Sook-Yin Lee, where they nearly made her...

Video Of The Day: Massive Attack's "Atlas Air"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) December 1, 2010 5:41 pm
Well, damn. I wouldn't want to have the rabbit chasing after me, would you?  I'm not even sure what this thing is or if it's even a rabbit. It looks like some kind of fucking evil demon hell mutant from some kind of mad science experiment gone horribly awry. Its leaping capabilities are frightening; it makes Venom look like a wimp. "Atlas Air...

MGMT, Massive Attack To Play Moogfest 2010

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 16, 2010 2:47 pm
We thought we had heard everything in terms of festival weirdness, but this is something else. The first annual Moogfest is coming to Asheville, N.C. this fall and, yes, it does plan to honour the Moog synthesizer and its creator, Robert Moog. Appropriately, obsessed with the '60s MGMT will play the event, along with Massive Attack and...

A Hermione Grainger lookalike walks through a school and into the street followed by ghosts in the video for Massive Attack's "Psyche," before everyone gets ends up looking like Jawas in the end. Check out these other Massive Attack videos on CHARTattack: "Splitting the Atom" "United Snakes"

Massive Attack Redeem Themselves With Sound, Lights

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 10, 2010 1:40 pm
I'm not exaggerating to say that Massive Attack's 2006 show at Toronto's Carlu was the most disappointing concert experience of my lifetime. They were touring their greatest hits record with an all-star lineup — including Cocteau Twin Liz Fraser — and the sound mix was muddy and confoundingly quiet. At the time, I had waited eight years to see...

Massive Attack — Heligoland

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) February 26, 2010 5:10 pm
Back in the '90s, the long waits between Massive Attack records used to get chalked up to creative geniuses crafting their next masterpiece. Now, it seems more like a pair of aging musicians waiting for the slightest whiff of inspiration. On their first album in seven years, and first to feature Grant "Daddy G" Marshall since 1998's...

Canadians and Americans have waited a long, long time for a Massive Attack album, and they've waited nearly as long to see Robert "3D" Del Naja and Grant "Daddy G" Marshall on these shores. The Bristol, England trip-hop duo will return to North America for the first time since 2006 this May to play dates in Toronto, New York,...

Massive Attack — "Splitting The Atom"

in
By CHARTattack Staff February 3, 2010 12:59 pm
Massive Attack's amazing new video for Heligoland's "Splitting The Atom" is a computer-animated headtrip that starts with what looks like icebergs and then moves into a war-torn city made of glass that's being shattered in combat. Metaphor alert! What is that at the end? Why, only the gigantic, demonic, red-eyed rabbit that's tearing the...

Massive Attack — "United Snakes"

By CHARTattack Staff November 9, 2009 12:06 pm
Massive Attack's clip for "United Snakes" starts as a mixture of black stars and stripes, but they quickly start breaking apart, melting and shifting into various other shapes. It ends up looking a lot like the cover for Mezzanine... minus the beetle, of course. It's not known whether this track will appear on Massive Attack's upcoming...
