King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s prolific album release schedule is set to continue. Their double album Omnium Gatherum, which has no set release date just yet, is out via their label KGLW and will be available to pre-order on March 22. Today, they’ve introduced the album with a new 18-minute single called “The Dripping Tap.” Listen to it below.
Originally planned as a collection of unreleased songs, Omnium Gatherum became a project where the full band recorded new music. “This recording session felt significant,” Stu Mackenzie said in a statement. “Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. Significant because it produced the longest studio recording we’ve ever released. Significant because (I think) it’s going to change the way we write and record music—at least for a while…. A turning point. A touchstone. I think we’re entering into our ‘jammy period.’ It feels good.”
The new album follows Butterfly 3000, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s second album of 2021 after L.W. They followed those with the remix album Butterfly 3001, which included a DJ Shadow remix. The band has an extensive tour lined up later this year.
