Norwegian prog masters Gazpacho share new video for "Sky King"
Norwegian proggers Gazpacho are back today with a superb new video for their single Sky King, taken from their latest and widely celebrated album “Magic 8-Ball”.
The song was inspired by Richard Russell, a ground service agent with no formal flight training who stole an aircraft and flew alone for over an hour. His conversations with air traffic control were broadcast live, and revealed a man speaking with unusual calm, humor, and clarity as the situation unfolded.
"This song is a tribute to human dignity and the refusal to conform to anyone or anything. It is dedicated to the 'Sky King' Richard Russell who performed the ultimate rejection of that mindset and reminds us that we still have wings. Fly high!"
You can watch the video for Sky King on YouTube below:
The new album “Magic 8-Ball” is out now and is available on sparkle vinyl, black vinyl, Cd and digital formats.
