Massive Attack have hit out at rumours that instead of making music they just ‘f**k about’.
The band’s Robert '3D' Del Naja is angry that their manager tells people they only work hard in the months before they release an LP.
“There's a rumour that we actually make all our albums in the last six months before they're released and the rest of it is procrastination. That's what the manager says. Six months to make an album, the rest of it's just f***ing about,” he raved.
“I work really hard. I'm dividing my time between being here, painting in the garage next to my house, trying to finish the sleeve, then we've got rehearsals over at Bath. Average day, I work from about 11, 12, 'til about 10 at night.”
Well that’s that cleared up then.
Meanwhile, the band’s new Splitting The Atom EP hits the shelves on October 5, and features reggae star Horace Andy.
Other artists the duo have worked with on their forthcoming album include Damon Albarn, Elbow's Guy Garvey and Martina Topley-Bird.
