Their newest work is no exception to this and has haunted speakers since it was recently released in their home country. Now set for release in the United States and Canada on October 13th on the Dismanic label, Gazpacho's latest, a concept album appropriately entitled Tick Tock has the pendulum-like power to entrance and hypnotize its listeners with its various entities intertwining to yield an eerie and captivating product.
On December 29th 1935 a plane crashes in the Egyptian desert. The French writer Antoine Saint-Exup�ry is the pilot. his planned record flight from Paris to Saigon ends in the vast sand dunes of Sahara.
He wanders through the desert for five days, in the end meandering between Fata Morgana and a monotonous reality. His book Wind, Sand and Stars is a classic, and its interpretation by Gazpacho, Tick Tock, is a journey through human emotions, from the unhappy departure, the wandering through the Sahara and the rescue. Euphoria, despair, defiance, fear of dying and humility. The ticking of the clock, the rhythmic foundation symbolizing both the beating of the heart and the eternal monotony of the desert, interrupted only by vibrating air and the endless sky above the desperate wanderer.
Gazpacho's first three albums Bravo, When Earth Lets Go, and Firebird were launched entirely on their own merit and awareness spread by word-of-mouth throughout the world. It didn't take long before they had debuted in the Dutch indie charts at #6, hit #1 three times on MP3.com, won international songwriter competitions, got national radio spins in several countries, and made year-end top 10 lists in various media outlets.
