King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard detail 'Omnium Gatherum,' share "Magenta Mountain"
King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard have shared details of their 20th (!) studio album Omnium Gatherum. Those details include the release date — April 28 via the band’s own KGLW imprint — and the 16-song tracklist.
The album’s a double as you might expect, as the first single was the 18-minute “The Dripping Tap.” The new single is the one that follows that on the album, the comparatively shorter (six minutes) “Magenta Mountain,” that is more in the danceable pop style of Butterfly 3000 and has been in their live setlists for a while.
Says King Gizz’s Ambrose Kenny-Smith: “You know when you have a really weird vivid dream and it sticks with you like glue? One day I came into the studio and Stu was trying to write one of them down. He kept banging on about this paradise called Magenta Mountain that he had seen but none of us believed him. Every day since then he’s been still trying to convince us all that it’s real and one day he will.”
You can watch the video for “Magenta Mountain,” which uses the studio version of the song against live footage of the band, below.
King Gizzard’s extensive world tour starts April 11 in San Diego and hits NYC at Forest Hills Stadium on October 21 with Leah Senior. All tour dates are listed below.
