Massive Attack release new audiovisual EP, EUTOPIA

The three-track project comes with features from Young Fathers, Algiers and Saul Williams.  As the title would suggest, it pulls on the themes from Thomas More's Utopia.  "Lockdown exposed the best aspects and worst flaws of humanity," Massive Attack say about the project. "That period of uncertainty and anxiety forced us to meditate on the obvious need to change the damaging systems we live by. By working with three experts, we've created a sonic and visual dialogue around these global, structural issues; taking the form of climate emergency, tax haven extraction and Universal Basic Income."  The three songs are split up into videos, which you can view below .  The visuals aren't incredibly complex, but they get to the point, showing the lyrics on the screen and staying on theme with what the respective song is about.  They have been using their platform for change for a long time and want to make sure you get the message as well with this project.

Well, for us, this vinyl is so fresh :) The Advent, British techno artist, Cisco Ferreira, made for Ben Klock's imprint "Klockworks", offering up a three-track missive in his inimitable style.  Compare and contrast opener "High Horse", a formidably fuzzy and metallic chunk of peak-time techno sleaze rich in wonky vocal samples and booming bass , and the jacking techno loop-funk of "Sound Pove", which boasts plenty of restless drum machine handclaps and trippy musical samples.  Sandwiched in between you'll find "Un Named", a smoother and deeper peak-time workout that's nevertheless still tough as teak.
