Gazpacho

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 & 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. Musically, the album stays true to Gazpacho’s core. Atmospheric, layered & emotional. But more focused. No unnecessary weight. Just eight stories told with clarity & tension. The album was mixed by Thomas Juth (a-ha/Elton John/Paul McCartney/Cat Stevens) & mastered by Hans Olsson at Svenska Grammofonstudion Mastering.

Formed in Oslo in 1996 by childhood friends Jon-Arne Vilbo & Thomas Andersen, alongside Jan-Henrik Ohme—& later joined by Mikael Krømer, Lars Erik Asp & Kristian Torp—the band has built a reputation for their haunting, evocative sound & storytelling prowess. 2007’s ‘Night’ is a deep exploration of dreams, memory & the passage of time & stands as one of the finest gems in the band’s catalogue. This 2025 CD reissue of ‘Night’ is presented in a jewel case & includes an 8-page booklet with artwork & liner notes. Audio was remastered in 2020 for the 2CD edition.
