As Los Angeles is socked in with rain, today seemed like a good day to delve in to Massive Attack's latest, Heligoland , out today. Certain artists are most conducive to listen to during different times of the year- for instance, Dr Dre's The Chronic is best enjoyed on a hot summer day, with the top down and a shortie riding shotgun. I suggest Diane Birch's Bible Belt should be listened to with the leaves turning colors and and a nice warm latte in one's hand. Throw on Bob Dylan's Together [...]

Filed under: Spinner Interview , UK Spinner has carried out interviews in some strange places in its time. There's been the grounds of a Cuban hotel at midnight, a motor-racing track, the back of an electric golf cart during a festival. But our chat with Massive Attack 's G is the first time we've carried out an interrogation sat on a hotel toilet. The hardly-compact frame of one Grantly Evan Marshall - or simply G to those around him - is sat on a stool the [...]

Il prossimo 9 Marzo uscirà nei negozi il nuovo album dei Liars ( Mute ). Il disco uscirà in tre diversi formati: CD, vinile e una 'Deluxe Edition' che ospiterà tantissime guest. Continua a leggere Liars: in Sisterworld, Thom Yorke, Melvins, Blonde Redhead, TV On The Radio e Devendra Banhart... Commenta »

"Sisterworld", l'attesa, nuova fatica in studio dei Liars , non arriverà nei negozi prima del 9 marzo prossimo. Le indiscrezioni però (compreso un brano in download gratuito ), iniziano a trapelare. Una delle notizie in merito è che il disco uscirà in tre diversi formati: CD, vinile e una 'Deluxe Edition' molto particolare già dall' artwork . La serratura immortalata in copertina infatti sarà lo 'spioncino' attraverso cui sbirciare lungo un cartonato a fisarmonica che giace piegato nel packaging . Un rudimentale effetto 3D che comunica bene le atmosfere inquiete a cui ci abituato [...]

Filed under: News , UK Massive Attack , who are set to release their anticipated fifth album 'Heligoland' next week (Feb. 8) have admitted they have a lot of unfinished and leftover material -- which they hope to release as an EP in May. One of the tracks penned for 'Heligoland', the Bristol pair Robert '3D' Del Naja and Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall's first record in six years, is a collaboration with Elbow 's Guy Garvey -- but the song has proved troublesome so far [...]
The next time I hear someone wax on about how Lady Gaga is some sort of innovator or icon, I'm grinding this album into her ear until she gets a clue.

Last year TV On The Radio's guitarist/vocalist Kyp Malone became Rain Machine and released a majestic, arty- folk record Rain Machine , that seemed to be quite overlooked.

The story goes that George Lewis Jr. had been struggling with writer's block until he began to wonder the streets of Berlin. It seems at this point he came to the decision to record some sublime electro-pop tunes that will soon be released by Grizzly Bear 's Chris Taylor's Terrible Records . He's got some 7 inches coming your way in the Spring, and based on this track, you're going to love Twin Shadow . It recalls a touch of TV on [...]

Massive Attack is ready to take 2010 by charge. Are you prepared?

Filed under: News , UK Massive Attack 's Robert '3D' Del Naja and Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall have started revealing more about anticipated fifth album 'Heligoland' which is due for release on Feb. 8 -- and its array of guest stars. The album, the Bristol pair's first record in six years, features Blur 's Damon Albarn singing on track 'Saturday Come Slow' and also playing keyboard on first released EP, 'Splitting The Atom.' Del Naja has told 6 Music [...]

There was a lot of fan backlash when TV On The Radio's latest album Dear Science was released. People were complaining that the album deviated too much from their previously more experimental, challenging work. All that needs to be said about that is Family Tree . This song is about a love that is restrained by one of those dated and ridiculous ideas like you can only marry someone of the same creed, race etc. It blows my mind how people follow these "life templates" and make decisions based on ideals that have nothing to do with [...]

Noise Pop boasts quite the musical lineup this year, but the San Francisco festival has more up its sleeve. Since we last talked, it has announced this year's film lineup, and there are some eye-catchers. One of them being The Heart is a Drum Machine , a documentary exploring why humans make and listen to music. It features MTV's Kurt Loder, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, Elijah Wood and Jason Schwartzman. Keenan can also be found onscreen in another documentary, Blood into Wine , about his and winemaking partner Eric Glomski's experience running [...]
Sooo I haven't really posted much on here for a while...but I guess that's for the better, 'cause I've just hit a load of hot tracks. I've been getting into the more garage/UK funky side of dubstep these days, a lot of it verges into house and techno but it's still all really about rhythm. I was fuckin' around on the internet earlier and stumbled into the recent Gilles Peterson Radio 1 show where he had Thom Yorke as a guest. Surprisingly, Yorke was quite relaxed and chatty - he seems like the temperamental sort usually. [...]

LA based crew 'The Glitch Mob' are coming to the UK. For those not fully aware of who they are, the Glitch Mob are made up of DJ's edIT , Ooah and Boreta . They make Glitchy, Electro infused Hip-Hop (borrowing elements from Break Beat and Dub Step) and sound pretty much unlike anything else out there at the moment. Put simply, their beats are sick. Below is a mixtape and a couple of remixes they put out last year which give you a good idea of what they're about. [...]
