Their first studio work since 2019’s ‘Infest The Rats’ Nest’, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are back with ‘K.G.’ – their sixteenth album, and first to be composed and recorded across their homes in Melbourne. A return to microtonal territory, this 10 track opus sees the band paint from a palette that extends far beyond the musical colours of western rock. An album best described as a pure distillation of the King Gizzard sound, one that cherry picks the best aspects of previous albums and contorts them into new shapes, via defiantly non-Western rock scales. |

The fourth single from the album ‘Automation’ is out now, a visceral hit of psych rock that explodes with frenzied groove. In true King Gizz style, the audio and video files have been made free for public use. With fans encouraged to edit these to make their own versions of the song and clip. |

If that ain’t enough for ya, Gizz have also blessed us a new live double LP – ‘Live In San Francisco ’16 – that will be released on the same day. Just under a month after delivering their award-winning 2016 album Nonagon Infinity, King Gizzard took the stage at San Francisco’s The Independent for a set both wildly frenetic and meticulously executed. In one of their final club gigs before bursting onto the international scene—soon selling out amphitheaters and headlining festivals—the Melbourne septet laid down a breakneck performance that, in the words of SF Weekly, “made every organ ache just right.” ‘Live in San Francisco ’16’ captures an extraordinary moment in the band’s increasingly storied history, a 13-song spectacular likely to leave every listener awestruck and adrenalised. With an embossed glow in the dark cover, it’s sure to be a must have in every Gizz heads collection. |
