Massive Attack Are Set To Release New Material and Go on Tour

It's been a good minute since Massive Attack put out 2010's Heligoland, with the only real interruption of new material being their highly sought-after, limited edition EP with Burial. That 2011 release found the elusive London producer remixing one previously unreleased Massive Attack track, "Four Walls," as well as a track from Heligoland, "Paradise Circus," which featured vocals from Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star.

Speed up to the present, and we're thrilled to share that Massive Attack will have new material out soon, although an exact date hasn't been announced just yet. Pitchfork has also confirmed that the new music will be out before the end of the year. The duo will tour behind the music, and they've announced the following European tour dates in early 2016, where they'll be supported by Scottish hip-hop group Young Fathers:
