The EP was recorded by Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja and Grant ‘Daddy G’ Marshall in Bristol. The lead track ‘Splitting The Atom’ sports vocals from longtime Jamaian cohort Horace Andy (’Hymn Of The Big Wheel’, ‘Angel’, etc), while ‘Pray For Rain’ is vocalled by Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio. Also included on the EP is a remix of new track ‘Psyche’ by Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid (fresh from editing recent material by The Big Pink and Bat For Lashes), and another new track, ‘Bulletproof Love’, sung by Elbow’s Guy Garvey and reworked by Christoff Berg, who produced the Fever Ray album with Van Rivers and Subliminal Kid. The EP, which boasts artwork by 3D, trails Massive Attack’s sixth studio album, which is due for release in February 2010. As well as the aforementioned Garvey, Andy and Adebimpe, contributors to the album include Fever Ray, Damon Albarn, Hope Sandoval and Martina Topley-Bird.
