Massive Attack have released a couple of further non-album singles following the 'Ritual Spirit EP' earlier this year. I am absolutely ADORING 'The Spoils' - another powerful collab with Hope Sandoval after the showstopping 'Paradise Circus'. Goosebumps!

agree amazing song

pity it's doing nothing chart wise and doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in them out there, think they should put out an album instead of so many random tracks

I wasn't even aware they had released Ritual Spirit EP.

It's pretty good, isn't it? As far as chart action goes, practically all alternative artists might as well forget that forever - I wonder if there'd be any way of creating an official alternative / indie chart? Not easy to define though as one person's alternative is another's mainstream.

 

The record shop chart was a good attempt, but it obviously doesn't take streaming into account.

"Come Near Me" is a great song. That "Unfinished Sympathy" episode is hilarious! :rofl:

There's a shade of Lana in there - except lighter. It's great that they're brave enough to go for minimal at this stage in their career. Love the organ-y sound. I haven't even heard this with good speakers - looking forward to a proper listen.

I am completely taken by The Spoils. I must have played it more than 10 times last night.

'The Spoils' is complete song of the year material!

This is pretty good, Splitting The Atom is 10x better than these though. :manson:

'Paradise Circus' was the best from that album!!!!

Spoils official video. Starring Cate Blanchett

 

Their videos are always interesting

LATE but I am all over 'The Spoils', what a beauty!! :wub: 'Paradise Circus' is one of my all-time favourite songs so I had no problem warming to the vocals.

 

Shall check out this whole thing soon. Currently just have this one song on repeat, just stunning :heart:
