The 12″ of Massive Attack‘s “Boots on the Ground,” their collaboration with Tom Waits, will be out September 4 (preorder it in the BV shop), and the b-side is a new spoken word piece by Tom titled “The Fly.” “Today, as in all of mankind’s yesterdays, guarantees this type of song will never go out of style,” says Tom. “Man’s folly of fiascos is a feast for the flies. Hence, the B side of Massive Attack’s upcoming 12 inch ‘The Fly’ features my appreciation for the winged nuisance.” You can watch the animated video for “The Fly,” and the video for “Boots on the Ground,” below.
