Massive Attack's Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall has revealed some of the band's latest collaborators for their new studio album - among them David Bowie and Patti Smith.
With the usual suspects - Cocteau Twins' Liz Frazer and Horace Andy - on board, the band have hinted that, while Smith is confirmed, Bowie and Faith No More's Mike Patton are definite maybes.
"We just spoke with her management today," Marshall revealed to the Tacoma News Tribute on Friday (April 28). "We're just literally trying to get a package of stuff together for her now."
"We're kind of fortunate as Massive Attack in that most people who we've actually asked to help us with the albums have always turned around and said yes," Marshall added, revealing that TV on the Radio's multi-instrumentalist/producer David Andrew Sitek will also contribute to set, scheduled for a 2007 release.
The band undertook a short US tour last week, their first American dates in eight years, which climaxed with a headline slot at the Coachella Festival. Joined by Fraser and Horace Andy, the band performed tracks including "Teardrop", "Black Milk," "Man Next Door," "Angel," "Inertia Creeps," "Safe From Harm" and "Future Proof."
