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."
"Boots on the Ground" 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 Bob 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.
An accompanying evocative, high-intensity montage film created by Massive Attack 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 militarization of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.
