Australian psych rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are gearing up for another busy stretch, announcing their 29th studio album, “Entropy,” alongside a new batch of 2027 North American tour dates.
“Entropy” is set to arrive on December 4 through the band’s own (p)doom records. The album is being positioned as a companion piece to their electronically focused latest release, “Alien Metal,” which arrived this past August.
The foundations for “Entropy” were laid during the same recording sessions as “Alien Metal,” with the group continuing to explore their fascination with Eurorack synthesizers. However, according to frontman Stu Mackenzie, the material eventually developed into a distinct project that warranted its own release.
“‘Entropy’ began to feel like its own project, something that could stand on its own, and needed a little longer to simmer. We were like, ‘Let’s commit – let’s dig deeper, mine this sound further, and challenge ourselves a bit more.’ Entropy’s definitely coming from its own place.”
Mackenzie also highlighted some of the musical differences between the two records, noting that “Entropy” moves at a faster pace and takes a different approach to its overall sound.
“‘Alien Metal’s’ tracks are 143bpm and in F sharp; ‘Entropy’s’ tracks are at 160bpm and in the key of A. ‘Entropy’s’ a lot faster, and has a different energy, and we leaned into a lot of different rhythmic things on this one. And where ‘Alien Metal’ had a grungy dirtiness about it, ‘Entropy’ is prettier, more harmonic, more cosmic.”
The eight-track album will feature the following songs:
- “Aeon”
- “Heaven & Hell”
- “Hard Sync”
- “Rogue Wave”
- “Angel”
- “To Mercury…”
- “Face Of The Earth”
- “Entropy”
