She says of the album, “This is a first person plural album. It’s a queer album for the stage of life when you start to understand that you are not a lone wolf, but depend on finding your family, your people, how you work as part of a larger whole. I wanted to make songs for use by threatened communities, and particularly the ones I belong to: trans people and Jews.”
‘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. ‘
‘”The Dripping Tap” is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s first outing since their Butterfly 3001 remix album landed in January, and will feature on their 20th album (and first ever double album) Omnium Gatherum.’
‘Led by her acute lyricism and liberating honesty Jess Cornelius’s bleeding-heart beach rock lands plenty of punches in an emotional slog match.’
‘King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are back with news of their second album of 2021 Butterfly 3000, which will be released next month. Although the group only delivered their L.W. album back in February, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are already preparing to release their follow up Butterfly 3000.’
“King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have returned with “O.N.E.”, marking their first new outing of 2021.The kaleidoscopic “O.N.E” is teamed with a video directed and edited by Alex McClaren, and follows the band’s December 2020 single “If Not Now, Then When?”.
“Australia’s busiest band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are back with another new single titled “If Not Now, Then When?”.
“If Not Now, Then When?” lands hot on the heels of the group’s 16th album K.G..
The woozy new song is accompanied by an animated video directed by Dr D Foothead.”
Californian psych-rockers Oh Sees have shared their intense new single “Captain Loosely”, which is dedicated to the victims of the El Paso mass shooting.
The 7″ marks his first new solo material in four years, after 2015’s MCIII.

“Live they added to the improvisation of the record with a dose of extra psychedelia courtesy of the super spaced-out guitar playing from the alt-rock soulmates and the fabulously fluid rhythm section…”
“Hermits On Holiday is that rarest of treats, a side-project that could be its writers’ day job. Bristling with brio and invention, it sounds as much fun to listen to as its creators evidently had making it… “
“Their album Hermits On Holiday doesn’t sound like a composite of their respective solo work but instead feels like a completely new band, which to all intents and purposes they are…”
“Perpetual Motion People lives up to its title. Furman never sounds like he’s fronting the same band on any two tracks, and the copious, fascinating sleevenotes which accompany the record give every song its own address…”
