If there’s a band on more of a creative roll than King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard then we bloody well can’t see them, with the Aussie psych blenders releasing an entire chapter from their upcoming new LP ‘Murder Of The universe’
‘Han-Tyumi & The Murder Of The Universe’ is one of three chapters that make up that new LP, with the band unveiling the full chapter with a fresh new video which features the band playing away – morphed in with digital takeovers and a chilling narration that’ll last with you as you close your eyes later. Made up of six separate tracks, ambition has never sounded so good.
‘Murder Of The Universe’ is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s second album of 2017 s far, following on from February’s ‘Flying Microtonal Banana’ in a 12 months where the band aim to release five albums in total. The band will return to the UK in June (with who knows how many albums out in the world by then), to play this year’s Field Day along with a string of other headline shows around the country.
