Today Massive Attack is sharing their collaboration with Tom Waits, "Boots on the Ground." 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.

The song is available today on streaming platforms, and will be followed by a 12" vinyl release. The 12” edition features "Boots on the Ground" on Side A, with an exclusively Waits B-side titled "The Fly” - a track featuring Waits’s trademark droll and sardonic spoken word.

Keith Porter Jr was also killed by ICE

On a long enough timeline, everyone disappoints you.

Pathetic. Fake. Gay. Weak ass shit. The most racist lyrics I've ever heard. No surprise from a boomer yuppie LARPing as an authentic American. One way to end your career and be remembered.

So much love and gratitude for you all.

Boomers trying to be political lmao

It's incredible how many accounts from Israel post an answer.

...well done... Tom Waits + Massive Attack ...back and busy... 💟+☮️

About time. Thank you so much ❤️

So, harmless anti-war showbiz posturing from millionaire musicians then Nothing too specific 👌

Since my long lost youth the percussion in Karma Coma always made me think of Tom Waits somehow. Very thrilled for this collaboration

Is it just me or is it just not very good? I listened to it last night and wasn't impressed. The hype was better than the song.

Impressive and shattering.🙏

I wonder if he's aware of how hyper politicized they made the music video even though it was talking about the war on terror and yet they made the video about ICE deporting criminals.

zzzzzzzz
