King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard unveil new single "Iron Lung"
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have shared new single "Iron Lung" from their Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs Mushrooms And Lava album that's out this Friday (7 October).
The nine-minute new single "Iron Lung" will appear on Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs Mushrooms And Lava with last month's lead outing "Ice V", and is accompanied by a trippy video directed by SPOD.
The group's Stu Mackenzie says, ""Iron Lung" (along with the other songs off this record) is the ultimate collab. We wrote the lyrics as a group and created the music out of improvisation. Spontaneous creation. The best kind. And that’s why I’m proud of it. Hope you dig."
Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava will be the first of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's trio of October albums, and follows April's Omnium Gatherum. It'll feature seven songs, all of which have a running time of over six minutes. Each song follows the seven modes of the major scale - Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian - which also inspired the abbreviated album title IDPLMAL.
Laminated Denim will follow on 12 October, and is, according to Mackenzie, "an anagram of Made In Timeland." The album features two tracks, each of which are 15 minutes long. Changes, the third and final record, will land on 28 October, and is made up of another seven tracks.
"Iron Lung" is out now. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava album will be released on Friday (7 October). Pre-order all three albums from kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com.
