“Australia’s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced new album K.G., which is their 16th album in the group’s 10-year existence and will be out November 20 independently. It’s the second volume in their “microtonal” series that began with 2017’s Flying Microtonal Banana and contains this year’s “Honey,” “Straws in the Wind” and “Some […]
“K.G. is the 16th (!) studio album from the mind-blowingly prolific Australian outfit. It was conceived during the global pandemic, with all six members composing and recording from their own quarantine spaces in Melbourne.”
“King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard has announced their sixteenth studio album K.G. Known for their prodigious output, the band has also announced Live In S.F. ’16 (ATO Records), a live album recorded during the band’s 2016 U.S. tour stop at San Francisco venue The Independent.”
“King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s 2020 has so far included a lineup change, the release of five live albums, three singles, a demos collection and concert film — and the prolific Australian outfit aren’t done there. Today, the band have announced sixteenth studio album K.G. and new live collection Live In S.F. ’16 will […]
“King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced two new albums. The studio album K.G. (self-released) and Live in S.F. ’16 (via ATO) will both arrive on November 20. The prolific Melbourne collective has also shared a new track called “Automation.” King Gizzard have also made the song’s stems available at their website, so fans […]
“Earlier this week the endlessly prolific Melbourne psych rockers King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard shared the raw files for a new song called “Automation” … Now the official track and its visuals have arrived, along with news of two new albums. King Gizzard’s 16th studio album K.G. will be out next month, and on […]
“III almost feels like a live album but without the roaring crowd. The raw energy of the performances and the interplay between the musicians gives the album much of its heft and appeal.”
“a humble fusion of minimalistic production and demanding riffs that reveal the band’s draw to psychedelic and blues music.”
“They’re more than open about this being an album enthralled with guitar rock and not seeking to move the needle forward, though. They revel in the tumult of noise and the body high bruise of a triple-stack storm of good ol’ face melters. On pretty much all levels I couldn’t agree more.”
“The band’s first album since 2015 is a tour de force of gritty garage rock, with a snarling attitude and an emphasis on riffing.”
“The follow-up to 2019’s ‘Infest The Rats’ Nest’ will arrive on November 20 on KGLW via Caroline. The same day the Australian band will release ‘Live In San Francisco ’16’ through ATO, a 13-track collection captured at their show in the Californian city on May 26, 2016. It follows ‘Chunky Shrapnel’, another live LP that […]
“Nothing if not prolific, K.G. will be the Aussie psych-lords’ sixteenth album since their formation in 2010 (in 2017 alone they shared five LPs). November’s drop will be the first studio album of the year from The Gizz, though a live album will also arrive on the same day.”
“Cut with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, it sounds like three people in a room intent on building the heaviest thing possible. “We wanted it all to be about power and performance,” Segall says, and III bears him out: it’s a collection of nuked anthems that feels perfectly suited for the apocalyptic spirt in the […]
“III is an anthemic exclamation of self-assuredness. Each song tackles sovereignty from a different angle, amplifying the message with searing guitar solos and Segall’s incendiary drumming.”
“Fuzz, the power trio most likely to burn the coronavirus off all interior surfaces*, return this Friday with “Fuzz III,” their first album in five years.”
“Fuzz, the Ty Segall based metal band out of Los Angeles has never apologized for their heavier sound. While the trio has a new album III coming this Friday, their latest single “Mirror” and its video prove they aren’t giving in to anyone who’s not on board with their chunky riffs and metal structures.”
“It’s prime FUZZ, using III’s approach of taking the essential ingredients of “guitar based music” and “rock and roll power trio” and putting them on the chopping block. Not for the faint of heart, the offbeat “Mirror” video, directed by Joshua Erkman, is a full-out freak fest with a few bodily oddities.”
“King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have shared raw audio stems and video footage for their new single ‘Automation’, inviting fans to create their own remix and music video.”
“‘Mirror’ is another hard-rocking riff-monster of a song — FUZZ’s specialty”
“’Mirror’ features breakneck drumming, a roiling bassline, and two tons fuzzy distortion blasting out of Moothart’s axe.”
“Over the summer, FUZZ announced III, their first new album in five years. Today, they shared the record’s third single, “Mirror,” along with a pretty creepy music video.”
“Fuzz, the trio of Ty Segall (drums, vocals), Charles Moothart (guitar, vocals), and Chad Ubovich (bass, vocals), release their third album on Friday and ahead of that they’ve just shared the video for “Mirror.””
“III is a mostly smoking collection that will thrill psych devotees, a hard and gnarly neon trip to binge on between Blue Cheer and the Brown Acid series.”
“The track is charged, nostalgic punk rock, with harsh but anthemic vocals and electrifying guitars that shine during the song’s solos.”
“Combining the heavy-hitting sounds that fans have been clamoring after for five years with the grotesque imagery of body horror puts an exclamation point on Fuzz’s statement: We Are Back.”
““Mirror” rides the previous tracks’ energies, with drums that pummel through high-power guitar riffs. It’s prime FUZZ, using III’s approach of taking the essential ingredients of “guitar based music” and “rock and roll power trio” and putting them on the chopping block.”

…“Spit” is another blast of blown-out, big riff rock from a group that’s always reliable in that realm, with drummer and singer Ty Segall presiding over the crunch with a vocal performance that edges on the serene. While the song packs an immediate punch, in a statement, guitarist Charles Moothart noted it was designed to […]
…“‘Spit’ was written early in the process of working on III,” Moothart explains. “When Ty and I first started working on this song, we didn’t know if it was even going to be a FUZZ song or not. We wanted to make a song that felt straight forward, but had a subtle tweak that over […]
…“Spit” is a smattering of guitars that channels vintage ’90s alt and classic garage rock (and all of the great aspects of both genres) and dirt-under -your-fingernails grit, which makes perfect sense since they had Steve Albini mix the album. The video for the clip was created by Moothart, who used his quarantine time wisely […]
