Massive Attack and Ghostpoet - Come Near Me
Three masters of tension in a heartstring tug of war.

Both paint effortless pictures in various gloomy shades, reflecting on the darker side of life with a whip-crack tautness. ‘Come Near Me’ is every bit as perfect in practise as it is on paper - three masters of tension in a heartstring tug of war.
With a sound not dissimilar to a dodgy phone line buzzing away in the background, Ghostpoet’s latest account of communication breakdown takes on a third dimension. “Don’t stand by the door / come near me,” he half-demands over crackling percussion, sounding more world-weary than ever.
