You know them as the fathers of trip-hop, your mom knows them as those nice men who wrote the theme song for House: Massive Attack are back with a new album in February, nearly seven years since their last LP, 100th Window.
Heligoland, the duo's fifth studio album, is expected in stores Feb. 8, 2010, the band announced in a statement earlier today.
And joining the band's Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall on the album are more music-nerd-approved artists than you're likely to find outside of a Pitchfork listicle.
Damon Albarn (Blur), Adrian Utley (Portishead), Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio), Guy Garvey (Elbow), Martina Topley-Bird (Tricky), Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) and long-time collaborator Horace Andy are among those making appearances.
According to Spinner, nearly as many collabs were chucked for the final product -- including work featuring Faith No More's Mike Patton, Beth Orton and more.
Listen to their collab with TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, "Pray For Rain," off Massive Attack's recent Splitting the Atom EP, on Dose.ca here.
