Battle Box
This week’s Album of the Week has a deep Bristol connection. Life Support is the soundtrack to Daniele Rugo’s documentary following medics working in Gaza, jointly curated by the film’s producers and Robert “3D” Del Naja, Massive Attack co-founder and the artist behind Battle Box.
Across 13 tracks, Del Naja’s score sits alongside Habib Shehada Hanna, Yasmine Hamdan, Kneecap featuring Fawzi, 47Soul, Massar Egbari, Aar Maanta, Siba and Monkyman, and The Five Techniques with Paul Weller, David Holmes and Róisín El Cherif. His contributions include Explosives Of The Future, Perfect Victims and House Of Healing, plus his remix of Palestine.
The range of contributors makes this a substantial collection in its own right, while its purpose remains tied to the documentary and the people at its centre. Battle Box says all profits from the vinyl edition will go to the Health Workers 4 Palestine solidarity fund. BMW Album of the Week.
