180-Gram Black Vinyl

Australian jam band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard recorded hours and hours of jams over seven days to create their 21st album: Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava. “I have a list on my phone of hundreds of possible song titles…words and phrases I feel could be digested into King Gizzard world.” Stu Mackenzie chose seven from the list he felt “had a vibe,” then attached a BPM to each one. A lyrical group effort and as the most “collaborative” King Gizzard album to date, Mackenzie noted: “All we went in with was a tempo, a key signature, and a title. There was nothing else — no riffs, no melodies, nothing like that. We just went in there and picked up instruments and said, ‘Let’s go.’” Cover art by Jason Galea.
