Indie Basement (1/21): King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Butterfly 3001

‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard made their biggest zag yet with last year’s Butterfly 3000 which found the tripped-out, microtonal-loving Aussie psych band successfully exploring danceable pop music. It makes sense then, that they’d farm out the record for remixes. As someone who was into dance music and indie/alt in the ’90s, I am a fan of remixes and still own many CD singles of wild Andrew Weatherall, Terry Farley, Todd Terry and Fred Falke reworks of Saint Etienne, Bjork, etc. Butterfly 3001 is very much in that spirit and there’s a lot of great stuff here.’
