* PREORDER * MASSIVE ATTACK & TOM WAITS - Boots On The Ground 12" (colour vinyl)

* PREORDER * expected to arrive for 31st July release

Limited edition 180gm ‘EcoSonic’ vinyl, mixed at random in red, white and blue. Housed in full colour sleeve, with additional screen printing.

Massive Attack and Tom Waits 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 accompanying film created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist "thefinaleye") will be available via the band’s digital platforms. This evocative, high-intensity montage portrays 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. Further releases are scheduled prior and subsequent to the band’s run of live performances, including their forthcoming European tour and summer festival headlines. 

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.
