Liner Notes
King Gizzard's prolific output has always rewarded the patient listener, but this one sits in a particular sweet spot, where the band's jazz-inflected improvisational instincts meet the kind of locked-in collective groove that fans of extended live exploration recognize immediately. Released alongside its sister record *Laminated Denim* in the same month, it's a snapshot of a band trusting the room, following the thread, and leaving the exits unmarked.
Over seven days, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard recorded hours and hours of jams to create their 21st studio album – Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava. “I have a list on my phone of hundreds of possible song titles… words and phrases I feel could be digested into King Gizzard-world.” Mackenzie selected 7 titles from his list that he felt “had a vibe,” and then attached a BPM value to each one. A lyrical group effort, the result of this experimental creative process is a quest into the dense and unpredictable. This 2-LP set is pressed on 180-gram recycled black wax and housed in an outer card jacket in place of shrink wrap.
