Massive Attack and Young Fathers, it seems, had a meeting of minds a few years ago while touring together and that produced several collaborative tracks. In 2020 they have joined forces again for the title track on the new Massive Attack EP ‘Eutopia’ – an ‘audio-visual’ release also featuring Algiers and US poet Saul Williams.
Also on the YF track and indeed providing most of the spoken word lyrics is Professor Guy Standing, who to a combination of Massive Attack/Young Fathers backbeats vocalisations, tries to explain why the world appears to be so screwed up today… His main plea is for a Universal Basic Income and it is pretty convincing….
Great to have some new music from Massive and YF and in terms of fighting the powers that be, they are a pretty powerful combination.
