Product Details

Melbourne's most prolific shapeshifters were already deep into a recording frenzy by 2017, dropping multiple full-lengths that year alone. Murder Of The Universe stands as one of their most narratively ambitious swings, leaning hard into the spoken-word storytelling that separates it from the rest of the Gizz catalog. The translucent red with black splatter pressing, complete with a Side D etching, is the kind of artifact that rewards the collector who treats vinyl as a physical extension of the music's visual mythology.

A concept album to end all concepts, Murder Of The Universe is the 2017 collection by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Murder Of The Universe is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet....the murder of the whole goddamn universe. A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct chapters that rise from larval beds, and whose lyrics should be carved in stone, squeezed from moss, discovered in ancient runes. And all the while a passing cast of characters imbue the tale with both human and non-human emotions.
