Known
for their distinctive art rock that balances tense and beautiful
arrangements, sinister and soulful melodic lines,
Gazpacho's Soyuz furthers their experimental output. 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 themes of Soyuz were born
from the idea of how beautiful moments pass and cannot be “saved
for later”, so within Soyuz are interconnected tales of people and
lives “frozen in time”. Taking inspiration from a multitude of
eras and subject matters, including the doomed Russian space capsule
Soyuz and its iconic captain Komarov; the Tibetan Buddhist
funeral practice in “Sky Burial”; the inclusion of the oldest
recording of the human voice from 1860 and the Hans Christian
Andersen inspired “Emperor Bespoke”.

Recorded at Krypton Planet & St.
Croix Fredrikstad in Norway, engineered by Thomas Andersen, Kristian
Torp and Mikael Kroemer, mixed by John Rausch and mastered by Sonovo
Mastering's Thor Legvold. The artwork, designed by painter Antonio
Seijas, is inspired by Russian Cold War colours and fonts from the
Soyuz One flight era.
