The year is almost over and King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have only put out two albums in 2022, the double LP Omnium Gatherum and the vinyl-exclusive Made In Timeland, which means that the Australian psych-rock band appears to be slacking. Except … KGLW have just announced that they’re releasing three albums next month.
This jazzy 10-minute jam is from one of THREE new albums King Gizzard are releasing in October.
Comically prolific Australian psych reptiles King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard had promised that three new albums would arrive in October. Having previously obscured the titles and artwork of the LPs, they have now shared the full details of the albums.
Most of the time when a band announces new music, it’s maybe a song on an album, but the Australian mindfuck of a band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are not just any band. Earlier today, the outfit announced three new albums at the same time. Admittedly this is nothing new for them, but it’s always crazy when it happens.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are making good on their promise to drop three more albums this year. The Australian psych band has officially announced that the trio of releases — Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava, Laminated Denim, and Changes — will all be out in October. As a preview, they’ve shared a song from the first LP called “Ice V.”
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will have lots of new music to play audiences on their upcoming North American tour, as they’ll release three albums in October. Those are: Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava on 10/7, Laminated Denim on 10/12, and Changes on 10/28.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have yet to leave fans wanting more because they always put out new music before anyone can ask. What’s more impressive is that they always manage to do this without diluting their brand. As the Australian psychedelic rock outfit prepares for their upcoming North American tour, the release of three new albums next month will have people flocking to their shows to watch them perform new material live for the first time. Earlier today, they put out a single to remind us that October is theirs. Check out “Ice V” below:

En juin dernier, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard avait annoncé leur volonté de lancer trois nouveaux albums en 2022. À ce moment, il avait déjà lancé Made in Timeland en mars et Omnium Gatherum en avril. Lancer 5 albums, c’était un exploit que la formation avait déjà réussi en 2017. Cette fois-ci, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard lancera trois albums dans le même mois.

The first to drop will be the Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava, out October 7th. Following that will be Laminated Denim, dropping somewhat unconventionally on October 12th, a Wednesday.
Agents of perpetual motion King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have revealed details for all three albums the band will release in October, as well as shared the single “Ice V”. The whopping 10-minute track will appear on the first of three releases, Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava, out on October 7th via the band’s KGLW label.
King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard took to their official Instagram account to share their plans to release three new albums this October. While the official release date was not revealed, the band did note that pre-orders will begin on Sept. 7 on gizzverse.com.
“If Omnium Gatherum is a crazy quilt by design, it’s ultimately threaded together by some of the Gizzard’s most sumptuous songcraft to date—not to mention the band’s ever-colorful ways of telling us that the Earth is fucked.”
‘Indeed, the band is achieving any number of new milestones in the weeks ahead, from selling out two Red Rocks shows eight months in advance (a third was just added), to playing their largest New York-area concert to date in October at the 13,000-capacity Forest Hills Tennis Stadium and reaching the top tiers of international festival lineups with zero radio airplay or traditional promo.’
“‘Kepler-22b’ showcases all the hidden talents of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard — namely that they’ve got a dynamic, irrepressible pop instinct.”
‘Over the course of its 16 tracks, Omnium Gatherum (which is Latin for “a collection of miscellaneous people or things”) constantly surprises, at least on the first few listens. The experience is like wandering through an unfamiliar house, peeking in each room to see what’s behind the door and finding something new and different almost every time. ‘
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have dropped a video for the track “Kepler-22B” from their new album Omnium Gatherum dropping Friday, April 22.
“Kepler-22b” samples Barney Mcall’s “Yemaya One.” The same day Omnium Gatherum makes its long-awaited debut, tickets go on sale for a third show at Red Rocks Amphitheater following two already sold-out appearances. Tickets for other dates are on sale at the official King Giz website.’
‘Melbourne psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have returned with yet another new album, Omnium Gatherum. Not only does it serve as the band’s 20th album to date, it is also their first double LP ever. Omnium Gatherum is a coherent, genre-bending 16-track album that’s sure to stick with you for a long time.’
‘Led by the singles “The Dripping Tap,” “Magenta Mountain,” and “Kepler-22b,” not only is the studio set the Australian psych rockers’ landmark 20th album, it’s the first double LP in their more than decade-long career.
‘Considering their talent and tenacity, it was only a matter of time before they pushed themselves further than ever by creating a double album. Indeed, Omnium Gatherum — which has more in common with 2021’s welcomingly exploratory Butterfly 3000 than it does last month’s avant-garde Made in Timeland — is essentially the band’s magnum opus.
‘While it’s easy to admire the sheer chutzpah of King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard opening their twentieth album in 10 years with the 18-minute epic The Dripping Tap, they become that much more easy to love once the song’s immediate accessibility becomes instantly apparent. ‘
‘The blissed out, kaleidoscopic new song samples Barney McAll’s ‘Yemaya One’, a track from the Australian jazz pianist and composer’s 2005 album ‘Mother of Dreams and Secrets’.’
‘The band’s Stu Mackenzie says the album title is “literally Latin for ‘a collection of miscellaneous people or things’.”
He adds, “This recording session felt significant. Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. ‘
‘When it comes to approaching the infamous double-alarm, most bands should pause for thought before taking the plunge. King Gizzard aren’t most bands, however. Now a decade into their recording career, ‘Omnium Gatherum’ is the group’s 20th studio release, the past three created despite a global pandemic.’
‘“I hadn’t heard any of his stuff before,” Craig said in a statement, “but remember putting it on and being blown away straight up. I remember thinking damn this is literally a sampler’s dream. It took me a while before I actually realized he was from Melbourne too. I guess it’s funny like that, sometimes you gotta travel halfway around the world to discover an inspiring piece of music made by someone who probably lives on the same block as you”’
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s sprawling new double album Omnium Gatherum is out this Friday. Where previous albums find the Australian group focusing on a style (thrash metal, boogie, pop) or concept (microtonal instruments), Omnium Gatherum is more of a smorgasbord, offering up little tastes — and some big ones — of everything they’ve dabbled in over the last 10 years.’
In a few days, prolific psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will release their new album, Omnium Gatherum, which follows last year’s Butterfly 3000. So far, the Australian band shared an 18-minute single “The Dripping Tap” and “Magenta Mountain.” Now, they’re back with another album cut: “Kepler-22b,” which also has a music video.
