If you’ve been searching for the right electronic music accompaniment to recent stories about the extent of HSBC’s tax dalliances in Switzerland, Thom Yorke and Robert del Naja – known as 3D from Massive Attack – may have just met your needs. They have teamed up to score Mark Donne’s 2013 documentary The UK Gold, an investigation into the City of London’s role in the tax-evasion industry, both in the UK and abroad.
Enlisting the help of fellow bandmates Jonny Greenwood, from Radiohead, and Euan Dickinson, from Massive Attack, Yorke and Del Naja have pulled together a collection of minimal and ever-so-slightly chilling electronic tracks for the soundtrack. Have a listen below, and let us know your initial thoughts.
The film was narrated by The Wire actor Dominic West and is set for its first UK television broadcast on Wednesday 25 February at 8pm GMT, on London Live. It will also be live-streamed online for UK viewers on London Live’s website – for more on that, head to protest group network UK Uncut’s site.
