King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard: Gumboot Soup 12″

Description

As they promised at the beginning of 2017, Melbournes KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD has released their fifth album Gumboot Soup, just before years end. “We dont expect everyone to like everything that we release, but I hope people can view these five records as one body of work, says STU of this grand creative undertaking. Theyve been made at the same time, by the same people, in the same place, and they all overlap. 2017’s previous four recordsFebruarys Flying Microtonal Banana, Junes Murder of the Universe, Augusts Sketches of Brunswick East and Novembers Polygondwanalandhave all received critical acclaim and contributed to a whirlwind year for the band. Some benchmarks include their first Coachella performance, their worldwide TV debut on Conan and headlining sold out shows at landmark venues including two nights at Chicagos Lincoln Hall, two nights at New York Citys Webster Hall and San Franciscos The Fillmore. In years to come King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will be judged not by their separate albums, but by a body of work where themes, melodies, motifs, riffs and ideas resurface and recur, each album peeling back a layer of the onion to glimpse at past and future alike.
