NORWEGIAN PROG MASTERS GAZPACHO RETURN WITH THEIR NEW ALBUM MAGIC 8 BALL. PRESENTED ON SPARKLE VINYL LP.
‘one of the greatest bands the scene of prog rock has ever seen’ – REBEL MUSIC
After a five-year break, Magic 8 Ball marks Gazpacho’s return with eight new tracks built around the idea of fate. How it moves without warning, and how the choices we make can slowly strip away who we thought we were.
The album is structured as a series of short stories. Each song follows a different character at a breaking point. Moments where something changes permanently, whether they see it coming or not.
The concept is rooted in the Ship of Theseus. If you lose parts of yourself one by one, are you still the same person? The band uses that question to explore identity, regret, memory, and how time reshapes everything, often without us noticing.
The title, Magic 8 Ball, ties into the idea of randomness and inevitability. Shaking something for answers you already suspect and repeating the cycle over and over. The idea of infinity is central. These aren’t just one-off stories. They echo each other, showing how easily the same patterns can return in different forms.
Musically, the album stays true to Gazpacho’s core. Atmospheric, layered, and emotional. But more focused. No unnecessary weight. Just eight stories told with clarity and tension. The album was mixed by Thomas Juth (a-ha/Elton John/Paul McCartney/Cat Stevens) and mastered by Hans Olsson at Svenska Grammofonstudion Mastering.
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts in modern progressive music, Gazpacho have carved out a cult following with their unique blend of art rock and cinematic storytelling. From their critically acclaimed 2007 masterpiece Night to the hauntingly beautiful Demon (2014), the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of progressive music. They've toured with legends like Marillion, played to devoted audiences across Europe, and earned a reputation for crafting concept albums that challenge and move listeners in equal measure.
This edition of Magic 8 Ball is presented on beautiful sparkle vinyl LP.
