We knew King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard were putting the pedal to the medal in 2017, but seeing their output frequency unfold in real time is something else.
Their latest record Flying Microtonal Banana dropped on February 24th, and on the same day they announced their next project Murder of the Universe. Listen to the first cut from that upcoming record above.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have unveiled the third chapter to their upcoming LP, a sprawling 13 minute jam titled Han-Tyumi and The Murder Of The Universe.
Murder of the Universe will be released on June 23, and that nightmare artwork above is what you’ll find on its cover.
The boys have gone full Floyd on this one, splitting the record into three chapters. The album is an apocalyptic comment on the upcoming downfall of humanity, at the hands of a virus, artificial intelligence or an army of deadly robots.
Han-Tyumi and The Murder Of The Universe is the entire third chapter.
