Massive Attack's 'Psyche' film available to stream

You can now watch the latest installment from this year's Heligoland

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 31 May 2010

Trip hop legends Massive Attack have made the latest film in the Heligoland series available to stream. The video, 'Psyche' taken from the band's latest album, is directed by John Downer. He says: "In my interpretation of 'Psyche', I have taken the idea of metamorphosis as the theme - a literal metamorphosis as insects change into their adult form and a metaphorical metamorphosis as a girl becomes a woman and breaks free of her past."

Heligoland is the band's first studio album since 2003's 100th Window. It got a thumb's up from Hot Press' Francis Jones, who deemed it is "deserving of a place in the exalted company of its predecessors."

Massive Attack live at The Olympia, Dublin

I’d hate to be a Massive Attack roadie. Not only do they have four vocalists, six banks of synths, live guitars, drums and percussion to worry about, but there’s a huge ticker-taping video screen to put up and take down every bleedin’ night.

Live With Me

Another A-list act returning to the scene after a notable absence – three whole years, in the Bristol band’s case. Dare we hope that they’ve spent this time creating something as mesmerizing as ‘Teardrop’ or ‘Unfinished Symphony’? Sadly ‘Live With Me’ doesn’t quite make that league, even though it’s as laidback as they come, with vocal goodness from folk/jazz legend Terry Callier and a whole string section to boot. But no, my crystal ball has already seen the future and says this won’t go down in history as one of their finest moments. Although, it’s on their forthcoming best of album, so technically, I’m already wrong.
