Gorillaz cover The XX in live Radio 1 set with Daley

Damon Albarn's current project, Gorillaz, performed at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge over the weekend, accompanied by singer Daley. They performed very low-key versions of their new single 'Doncamatic' as well as 'Melancholy Hill', as well as a stunning cover of The XX's 'Crystalised'. You can watch the three videos below (via Some Kind of Awesome)

New Massive Attack LP!

Massive Attack have announced they will be releasing their first LP in 7 years, 'Heligoland' (formerly 'LP5', formerly 'Weather Underground'), on February 8th next year. It boasts an impressive host of guest artists, including Horace Andy, Martina Topley-Bird, Damon Albarn, Tunde Adebimpe and Guy Garvey.

The tracklisting is thusly:

01. Pray For Rain
02. Babel
03. Splitting The Atom
04. Girl I Love You
05. Psyche
06. Flat Of The Blade
07. Paradise
08. Circus Rush
09. Minute
10. Saturday Come Slow
11. Atlas
12. Air

I haven't heard any of the album but hopefully they'll do as well as Portishead did with 'Third'. I do know that 'Psyche' is a remix of a song by Martina Topley-Bird and 'Pray For A Rain' is a remix of Tunde Adebimpe's song of the same name.

I surely will keep you posted with stuff like mp3s and videos and the suchlike when I can.
