Massive Attack - Heligoland - Out Now


The Bristol duo return with this rather dark, gothic album which has to be their best release since Mezzanine all of 12 years ago.

This is Massive Attack doing what they do best - gloomy chords, crashing drums, soaring synths and off-break beats, with a few new ingredients thrown in to create a modern, relevant take on their classic sound. This is a thoroughly consistent album and only enhanced by the likes of Damon Albarn and Elbow’s Guy Garvey lending their vocals to an enticing ensemble - well worth the wait!
