Massive Attack's Neil Davidge on his debut album: Slo Light

)

Although this marks Davidge’s first solo album, his credits extend back to the early '90s and production work with Massive Attack (Mezzanine, 100th Window, Heligoland), Xbox’s Halo 4 game, and film scores (Luc Besson’s Unleashed, Paul McGuigan’s Push). Davidge has also worked with boundary-pushing artists like Bowie, Cocteau Twins’ Elisbeth Fraser, Primal Scream, and Mos Def. Not surprisingly, the 13 tracks that comprise Slo Light are theatrical, cinematic, haunting, and a little unsettling. Featuring a roster of up and coming vocalists, Slo Light reflects Davidge’s collaborative credentials and deft touch with grand, complex arrangements. Before Slo Light, it might not have been so easy to detect or pinpoint Davidge’s sophisticated, sensuous touch. After Slo Light, it will be hard to miss.
