A three-track EP has been released today by Massive Attack.
Eutopia contains collaborations with Young Fathers, Saul Williams and Algiers, each coming with its own visualizer after socially distanced recording sessions in three different cities.
“Lockdown exposed the best aspects and worst flaws of humanity,” Massive Attack say. “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 spirit of this EP, its elements and ideas have nothing to do with naïve notions of an ideal, perfect world, and everything to do with the urgent & practical need to build something better. In this sense, Eutopia is the opposite of spelling mistake.”
