    Innovative New York-based progressive rock band IZZ is thrilled to announce the release of their latest album, "Collapse the Wave," available for pre-order now on Bandcamp: izzmusic.bandcamp.com and on all major streaming services on June 11, 2024. This inventive new work plunges listeners into a deep exploration of existential themes, such as the "death of the ego," the relinquishing of "self," and the idea of parallel realities.

    "Collapse the Wave'' marks a significant evolution in IZZ’s musical journey, melding intricate rhythms and complex harmonies to craft a narrative both compelling and transformative. The album, produced by IZZ keyboardist and vocalist Tom Galgano, features a collection of eleven tracks that challenge conventional perceptions and invite listeners to explore beyond the boundaries of traditional rock.

    John Galgano, co-founder and bassist of IZZ, describes the album as "a sonic exploration of the self and the universe." He adds, "We tried to weave together each of our musical influences with philosophical, spiritual, and scientific ideas to create an album that explores both personal and universal themes."

    "Collapse the Wave" is not just an auditory experience; it’s a journey through the self and the cosmos, making for a listening experience that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining and fun.

lyrics

The geometry of restlessness
Words are only one eye twitch
Away from the real thing
Away from the real thing

Double dealing chemicals
We are unrepeatable
So close to the real thing
So close to the real thing

We are the 3rd
In the order of being
Between 2 and 4
The reverse
We’re careening

Secrets of the minor lines
Meridians and quantum time
So close to the real thing
So close to the real thing

Then I see you sitting there
The corner in your magic chair
This is the real thing
This is the real thing

We are the 3rd
In the order of being
Between 2 and 4
The reverse
We’re careening

The eternal in the 1st place
The eternal in the 1st place

So full of fire
So full of fear
But no one’s asking questions here
No need to grow
We’re in control
There’s nothing else we need to know
Cause after all what is truth?
Take it or leave it
Deny the proof
Keep looking down
No one’s around
Or so we tell ourselves

The eternal in the 1st place
The contradictions I’m in 3rd place
In the middle, those who see your face

There’s so much sound
No conversation
We’re so consumed
No confirmation
This information flooding in
Relativism begins
Swipe and Scroll
Left and right
Back to the garden
And take your bite
Selfless surrender
Is the only answer

The eternal in the 1st place
The contradictions I’m in 3rd place
In the middle, those who see your face

Coming to the brink of change
The past is shifting out of range
The wind is at our back

The time is near for victory songs
Foreshadowing a day so long
The wind is at our back

Then we pause just at the brink
All possibilities in sync
This is the real thing

We are the 3rd
In the order of being
Between 2 and 4
The reverse
We’re careening

We are the 3rd
We are the 3rd
We are the 3rd
We are the 3rd

I wanna know what I never knew
What I never knew

My life is not about me

Can you tell me truth?
What I never knew
I never knew

I wanna know what I never knew
What I never knew

My life is not about me

Can you tell me truth?
What I never knew
That I never knew

My life is not about me
