‘From her home-recorded first album, 2017’s Pantheon of Me, up through 2019’s Sacred Bones debut Mazy Fly, the Bay Area artist Chrystia Cabral—aka SPELLLING—has entertained a fascination with the otherworldly. “SPELLLING is about showing people that there’s magic in every moment,” Cabral told Pitchfork at the time. With “Little Deer,” the sweeping first single from her forthcoming third album, The Turning Wheel, Cabral vividly melds the mythical with the familiar.’

Apr 13, 2021

‘The last couple of Reigning Sound albums, 2011’s Abdication and 2014’s Shattered, have relied on New York City’s the Jay Vons for a backing band, but in early 2020, just off a tour for reissued Home For Orphans and with the pandemic looming, Cartwright went back to Memphis to record. We talk about his latest album, A Little More Time With Reigning Sound, what it’s like to have the original band together again and the difficult, occasionally harrowing circumstances, that knocked these songs loose and into the world.’

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard K.G.

Mar 3, 2021

“Everything about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is governed by perpetual forward motion, from their music’s relentless momentum to their frequent reinventions to their tendency to release new albums with the regularity of a Substack newsletter. But while there’s a lot of joy to be had in hitching yourself to the Melbourne psych-rockers’ careening locomotive, the group’s recent track record suggests they could benefit from erecting some guard rails, with the honky-glam hoedown of Fishing for Fishies and the doomsday thrash of Infest the Rats’ Nest veering too sharply into the silly and the sullen, respectively.”

LISTEN: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – ‘L.W’

Feb 26, 2021

“The always ambitious and always intricate King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released another sonic minefield of an album. L.W is laden with staccato synth grooves, psychedelic guitar, and other signature influences the six-piece know all too well.”

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard drop new album ‘L.W.’

Feb 26, 2021

“It’s only been three months since King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard dropped their last album, K.G.. Now, the band have dropped what they describe as a companion album to K.G., titled L.W.

The nine-track album includes the three singles that prefaced it, ‘Pleura’, ‘O.N.E.’ and ‘If Not Now, Then When?’, and was dropped on Bandcamp. In a statement, front-man Stu Mackenzie described how the band initially had no plans to release a companion album to K.G. Their experiences from last year, however, changed their mind. “

Feb 25, 2021

“Further to the release of recent single ‘Pleura’, the ebullient Australian rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released ‘L.W.’ – the band’s seventeenth album and perhaps one of their most intriguing musical collections to date.

Recorded remotely during lockdown last year, this barnstorming album continues the journey where its predecessor K.G left off. It also finely showcases their use of microtonal tuning, which was first seen on with their 2017 album ‘Flying Microtonal Banana’.”

Feb 25, 2021

“The prolific Melbourne psych-rock army King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are famous for cranking out new albums at a frantic, baffling clip. Just three months ago, the band released an album called K.G. When they announced that one, the band said that the album would be “both a stand-alone work and also part of a bigger musical picture.” That bigger musical picture has other parts, too. Last week, the band announced plans to follow that one up with another new companion-piece album called L.W. That album is now out there in the world.”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Release ‘L.W.’ Studio Album, Follow-Up To 2020’s ‘K.W.’

“King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released yet another new studio album with the arrival of L.W., the companion to the Australian rock band’s surprise 2020 K.G. album.

Out today (February 25th), L.W. includes the previously-shared singles “O.N.E.”, “If Not Now, Then When?”, and “Pleura”. The album is available to stream on digital platforms like Spotify, and the band will donate $1 from every download of L.W. on Bandcamp to Greenfleet, an eco-friendly organization that plants native biodiverse forests in the band’s native Australia and New Zealand.”

“King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s 17th album, L.W., is out Friday and you can stream it now because it’s already Friday in Australia and the band have flipped the switch on their Bandcamp. This is third album in their “microtonal” series (that includes 2020’s K.G. and 2017’s Flying Mictrotonal Banana) that explores “the notes between the notes.” The record ranges from psychedelic folk to doomy heaviness.”
