    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

What is this quiet?
A new kind of stillness
Where no one’s talking
A new kind of illness

What is this quiet?
It’s quite the rage
A sound stampede
Of endless letters
On an endless page

I’ve got to right size
I’m gonna downsize
Gonna focus my eyes
On a smaller prize
I’ll be wise and I’ll capitalize to make my dreams more simplified
I’m gonna bite size
I’m gonna fun size
Gonna exercise
My right to minimize
I’m a prize and I’ll maxim-il-ize my need to keep life pocket size

Only out of control
But no soul senses
There’s nothing we don’t know
But knowledge never quenches

Do I have what I need
Do I need what I have?
To simply live a life - Live a life
Ones and zeros
Taking no space
Physically
But eventually
Spiritually
Do I leave enough space?

I’ve got to right size
I’m gonna downsize
Gonna focus my eyes
On a smaller prize
I’ll be wise and I’ll capitalize to make my dreams more simplified
I’m gonna bite size
I’m gonna fun size
Gonna exercise
My right to minimize
I’m a prize and I’ll maxim-il-ize my need to keep life pocket size

If the power's out
The connection lost
Is it possible for us to return
From the line that’s crossed?
Would we recognize what we never knew?
