King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released their new album Butterfly 3000 via KGLW/Virgin Music Australia.
It might be their most fearless leap into the unknown yet: a suite of ten songs that all began life as arpeggiated loops composed on modular synthesisers, before being fashioned into addictive, optimistic and utterly seductive dream-pop by the six-piece.
Butterfly 3000 sounds simultaneously like nothing they’ve ever done before, and thoroughly, unmistakably Gizz, down to its climactic neon psych-a-tronic flourish.
The band has also announced a run of shows in Sydney this August.
