"Further evidence as to why Gazpacho are a truly enigmatic & special act" Ghost Cult

Following 2015’s lauded album ‘Molok’, which reached 16th in BBC Radio 1's Rock Charts, Gazpacho released ‘Soyuz’ in 2018, which reached #4 & #17 in the UK's Rock & Metal & Independent Albums charts respectively. It joins a series of concept records that started with the critically acclaimed ‘Night’ in 2007.

A band who are used to seizing headlines with bizarre stories, including The Independent (UK) branding ‘Molok’ as "An album that could destroy the world", Gazpacho have a holistic approach to the album writing process, imbuing each with a captivating concept. The songs of ‘Soyuz’ are a series of short, interconnected stories of people frozen in time, with the tracks "Soyuz One" & "Soyuz Out" written about the first Russian Space capsule & its doomed captain, Komarov.

Known for their distinctive art rock that balances tense & beautiful arrangements, sinister & soulful melodic lines, Gazpacho's ‘Soyuz’ furthers their experimental output. The album was recorded at Krypton Planet & St. Croix Fredrikstad in Norway, engineered by Thomas Andersen, Kristian Torp & Mikael Kroemer, mixed by John Rausch & mastered by Sonovo Mastering's Thor Legvold. The artwork, designed by painter Antonio Seijas, is inspired by Russian Cold War colours & fonts from the Soyuz One flight era.

This 2025 LP edition of ‘Soyuz’ is presented on black vinyl.
