Massive Attack, Carried Low

Heligoland came out in 2010 after a seven-year silence, and Live With Me is the track I keep returning to—Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio delivering something halfway between a plea and an ultimatum over a low, chest-cavity bass and those characteristically dark Massive Attack textures. The whole album has a muffled, underwater quality, like grief heard through a wall. This song brings it briefly to the surface.
