NEW BOOK DETAILING
MASSIVE ATTACK’S ROOTS
IN BRISTOL TO BE RELEASED
BY: JOHN FLYNN JAN 13 2018
A new book
outlining Massive Attack‘s
artistic roots within Bristol’s dense club culture will be
released in April.
The English
trip hop group — composed of Robert “3D” Del Naja, Grant “Daddy G” Marshall,
and formerly Andy “Mushroom” Vowles — elevated themselves as storied legends
throughout the 1990s through a trio of critically acclaimed releases,
culminating in the awe inspiring, definitively-fabled release of 1998’s
LP Mezzanine.
Their influence has lasted the test of time,
too. 2010’s Heligoland garnered the nomination of best
underground dance track for the album’s second single “Paradise Circus.”
Massive
Attack: A Bristol Story releases April 9, with pre-orders available here.
French author and reporter Melissa Chemam's book is “dedicated to
the history of the band Massive Attack and to their relationship with
their home town of Bristol.”
Chemam —
who has worked for France 24, the BBC World Service and Radio France
International — spent more than three years completing the book, which she says
is founded on an extensive interview series with Robert Del Naja.
“Her book
examines the influences of the founding members of Massive Attack – 3D, Daddy G
and Mushroom – their collaborations, inner tensions and politics,” reads a press release, “as well as the way they opened the door for other Bristol
musicians and artists including Banksy.”
