Not Sure If This is a Recommendation, or Just Commentary

I have to say, I have a touch and go relationship with Massive Attack. Basically, I don’t like them much, unless someone kickass is singing on a particular track. Even those, I hate at first, until I find them stuck in my head for days.

This is the beautiful and haunting case with Flat of the Blade, off the new album Heligoland. Absent the vocals, it’s a moderately creepy track of electronica, but with Guy Garvey of Elbow adding the downright disturbing and tortured vocals, it becomes something more. Great song!
