The song chronicles \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe madness and rabid abandonment of mankind to the commands of \" The Masters of War”, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eas Dylan put it. It marks Massive Attack's first new music since 2020 and Waits’s first new \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erecording since the 2011 album, Bad As Me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe song is available today on streaming platforms, and will be followed by a 12\" vinyl release. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 12” edition features \"Boots on the Ground\" on Side A, with an exclusively Waits B-side \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etitled \"The Fly” - a track featuring Waits’s trademark droll and sardonic spoken word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen asked about the collaboration, Waits said:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"One day many years ago, I accepted an invitation from Massive Attack to collaborate. Their \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong release delay never worried me. Today, as in all of mankind's yesterdays, guarantees this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etype of song will never go out of style. Man's folly of fiascos is a feast for the flies. Hence, the B-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eside of Massive Attack’s upcoming 12 inch \"The Fly\" features my appreciation for the winged \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enuisance.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMassive 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 molding 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom Waits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50884461297897,"sku":"20289777-1","price":31.01,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/2035\/9401\/files\/MA_BOOTS_ON_THE_GROUND_16x9_Blue.webp?v=1776318690","url":"https:\/\/officialtomwaitsstore.eu\/en-eu\/products\/boots-on-the-ground-blue-vinyl","provider":"Tom Waits EU\/UK Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
