King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will release three new albums next month. The first of their upcoming releases, Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava drops on October 7. The seven-track release will be followed by Laminated Denim on October 12 and Changes on October 28. All three albums will be released on their own KGLW record label.
Ahead of the first LP in the series, the band has shared a new single called “Ice V,” which arrives with an accompanying music video. In the Danny Cohen-directed video, King Gizzard guitarist Joey Walker wanders around a seaside paradise with a beach towel before breaking into some outrageous dance moves. Check it out below.
Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava was written during studio sessions that the band came to with very little material. “All we had prepared as we walked into the studio were these seven song titles,” frontman Stu Mackenzie said in a statement. “I have a list on my phone of hundreds of possible song titles. I’ll never use most of them, but they’re words and phrases I feel could be digested into King Gizzard-world.”
The trio of new King Gizzard releases are set to arrive while the band is on tour, performing alongside Black Midi, Leah Senior, Tropical Fuck Storm, and the Murlocs with dates into early 2023. In March, the band announced a new double album called Omnium Gatherum with the 18-minute single “The Dripping Tap.” They also released an album of remixes called Butterfly 3001, which included updated interpretations of Butterfly 3000 songs from DJ Shadow, Peaches, and the Scientist.
