Massive Attack & Tom Waits 'Boots On The Ground' 12" 180g 'EcoSonic' Red, White & Blue Random Coloured Vinyl
Massive Attack and Tom Waits are to release a new collaboration 'Boots on the Ground', with an exclusive to vinyl B-side provided by Waits – a droll and sardonic spoken word piece entitled “The Fly”.
An evocative, high-intensity video montage made in collaboration with enigmatic photo artist thefinaleye accompanies the announcement, portraying a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.
'Boots on the Ground' is the first Massive Attack music distributed under a Spotify exemption policy.
In keeping with the band's sector leading efforts to reduce carbon emissions across both live activity and recorded output, Massive Attack have partnered with Good Neighbor to produce an ‘EcoSonic’ pressing. Manufactured using 100% recycled PET (rPET) rather than traditional PVC, the record is fully recyclable and produced via an energy-efficient injection moulding process - a significant shift in record manufacturing. Packaging follows the same approach, with sleeves made from 100% recycled, FSC®-certified paper stock and outer slipcases produced from recycled polyethylene.
