Gazpacho releases “We Are Strangers” as first single from upcoming album ‘Magic 8-Ball’
ity felt right. Our fates seem to be flying around until they randomly strike, whether good or bad. Fate wears a thousand faces and blindsides us, leaving everything changed in the blink of an eye. A phone call at night, a test result, a lottery ticket. All strangers until they are not anymore.
When it was finished, we asked ourselves if this was a Gazpacho song or if it sounded a little like Rush had a fistfight with Godzilla, and once we thought about it, we decided the answer was “Hell Yeah”. To both.”
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 and mastered by Hans Olsson at Svenska Grammofonstudion Mastering.
The tracklist of Magic 8-Ball includes:
1. Starling [09:12]
2. We Are Strangers [04:47]
3. Sky King [05:02]
4. Ceres [03:22]
5. Gingerbread Men [07:10]
6. Magic 8-Ball [03:10]
7. Immerwahr [07:41]
8. The Unrisen [06:12]
