King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have announced that they will release a slightly excessive three new studio albums next month. Although that will bring them up to a total of 23 in the space of the last ten years, and in that context maybe it’s not such an over the top plan.Rather than turning up to the studio with pre-written songs and demos, the plan for this trilogy was to create music in the moment.

Most of the guys in the band wrote a lot of the lyrics, and it was my job to arrange it all and piece it together”.And so, from that chaos came these three new albums. The first, ‘Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava’, will be released on 7
