Ăber Massive Attack
Born out of the intersection of cultures and styles in Bristol, England, Massive Attack emerged as the architects of the brooding, atmospheric sound soon to be known as trip-hop. Both the genre and the band were rooted in Wild Bunch, a soundsystem famed for live and DJ sets of hip-hop, post-punk, dub reggae, and lovers rock. By the end of the â80s, four membersârappers Robert â3Dâ Del Naja and Adrian âTrickyâ Thaws, plus musician/DJs Grant âDaddy Gâ Marshall and Andrew âMushroomâ Vowlesâcoalesced into Massive Attack. The group made an immediate impact with their delicately textured 1991 debut, Blue Lines, which made stunning use of Tricky (who would soon go solo) and guest vocalists such as reggae great Horace Andy and songwriter Shara Nelson. Rooted in Bristolâs late-millennial musical mĂ©lange, Blue Lines absorbed the cityâs Caribbean diaspora and industrial backdrop to develop a sleepy, soulful new sound that quickly found kindred spirits in Portishead and Morcheeba.
Massive Attack continued to situate star vocal turns within bass-warmed soundscapes suffused with paranoia and intelligence, including Everything But the Girlâs Tracey Thorn on the title track of 1994âs slinky and introspective Protection and Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser across several tracks from 1998âs dark and claustrophobic Mezzanine. With Del Naja remaining the one constant in a shifting lineup after that, 2003âs sample-free 100th Window saw Blurâs Damon Albarnâin Gorillaz mode as 2-Dâand SinĂ©ad OâConnor step up the mic, while 2010âs Heligoland expanded that expressive potential further with vocals from Mazzy Starâs Hope Sandoval and TV on the Radioâs Tunde Adebimpe. The groupâs rustling, moody sound has always lent itself well to remixes (including Mad Professorâs full-album rework of Protection) and soundtrack placement, continuing a fruitful conversation that has since spread more widely via such deserving heirs as Thievery Corporation, Burial, and Sampha.
