Massive Attack, Tricky & 3D 'Take It There' by Hiro Murai

David Knight - 29th Jan 2016

Massive Attack return with their first new music for over five years, and a video for the excellent Tricky-featured Take It There by Hiro Murai which is pretty much everything you could hope for.

The situation is familiar Murai territory - LA suburbia at night, shot naturally by DoP Larkin Sieple – into which comes the presence of a barely recognisable John Hawkes - shambling, decrepit, in a really bad way... and with his own personal band of demons.

And what appears like a dramatic set-up becomes something very music video - a bit like Thriller, even, through the joint, bleaker perspective of Massive Attack, Hiro Murai and choreographer Ryan Heffington. A match made in heaven.
