Massive Attack shares its collaboration with Tom Waits, “Boots on the Ground.” And sadly for all, their song is never more urgent and timely. The song chronicles the madness and rabid abandonment of mankind to the commands of ” The Masters of War”, as Dylan put it. It marks Massive Attack’s first new music since 2020 and Waits’s first new recording since the 2011 album ‘Bad As Me’.

“One day many years ago, I accepted an invitation from Massive Attack to collaborate. Their long release delay never worried me. Today, as in all of mankind’s yesterdays, guarantees this type of song will never go out of style. 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.”

Massive Attack is embracing an eco-conscious vinyl pressing and packaging process for this record to leave a smaller carbon footprint. This ‘EcoSonic’ edition will be 180g vinyl in colors, red, white and blue and will be packed at random. Pre-order it HERE.
