Massive Attack: New Album & “Paradise Circus” Video [Caution: NSFW]

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Artist: Massive Attack
Album: Heligoland
Release Date: February 9, 2010

The new year is just underway and the countdown has already begun- to NoisePop, SXSW and a bevy of highly anticipated albums, like Massive Attack’s 5th studio album, Heligoland, due out February 9. The album will feature guest vocals from the likes of Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) to Martina Topley-Bird and Elbow’s Guy Garvey. The prelude to Heligoland, the Splitting the Atom EP, is available now.

The group recently released their new video for “Paradise Circus” (ft. Hope Sandoval) off Heligoland. In what runs more like a documentary than a music video, the Toby Dye directed piece features former porn star, Georgina Spelvin, and her candid look on filming the infamous adult film, The Devil in Miss Jones. Original shots of the ’73 hit are interlaced with Spelvin’s honest take on her physical and emotional state during the production of the film nearly forty years ago. An interesting and entertaining concept, but definitely NSFW.

Spiral Stairs – “Cold Change”, “Stolen Pills”

Pavement co-founder Scott Kannberg, aka Spiral Stairs, makes his bona fide solo debut with the release of ‘The Real Feel’ this past month.  And we all had the pleasure to witness him first hand at this year’s Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco. The videos he’s released in conjunction with the album are genius. Enjoy!

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Pitchfork picked up on the leak of this hardcore edit of Girls “Lust for Life” video. There have been various iterations of the video floating around out there. The director, Aaron Brown, created this X-rated edit using all the body parts that didn’t make it into the official music video from the True Panther Sounds label.  This cut was leaked to The Sword, a gay website.  The question is, how many Xs does a penis make?

Jeff The Brotherhood – “U Got The Look”

Jeff the Brotherhood“U Got The Look

Have I told you how much I love Jeff The Brotherhood yet?  The Nashville-based garage rock duo hooked me with the Jeffro Tull drum set slogan, then sealed the deal with their relentless garage punk.  Their LP “Heavy Days” is out now on Infinity Cat Records.
