‘Led by her acute lyricism and liberating honesty Jess Cornelius’s bleeding-heart beach rock lands plenty of punches in an emotional slog match.’

‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will release new album ‘Butterfly 3000′ on June 11th. It’s the band’s second LP of the year so far, and it actually their 18th to date – a colossal discography by any standards.’
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are back and have announced their latest studio album, Butterfly 3000, due out 11 June. The Melbourne psych-rockers announced their 18th studio album in an Instagram post earlier today (11 May). They described the record as sounding both “melodic” and “psychedelic” while containing no singles.’
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared some details about their second studio album of 2021, called Butterfly 3000, which arrives 11 June on the KGLW label. The twist? They won’t be releasing any advance singles or album artwork until release day.’
‘King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are back with news of their second album of 2021 Butterfly 3000, which will be released next month.

‘King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have announced their second LP of 2021.’Butterfly 3000’ will mark the furiously prolific sextet’s 18th full-length since forming in 2010, and follows hot on the heels of ‘L.W.’, which landed in February.’
‘In a press release Cabral explains that the new song “steps back into my younger self, my teenage self to voice my angst, desires and disillusionments. I knew when I created the main motif on the piano that it was striking something really raw and both delicate and fierce. The notes just immediately transported me to the era of my youth, of this time when you are really beginning to confront the mirror of yourself to the outside world.”
‘The Bay Area artist will share her third full-length via the Brooklyn-based label on June 25th. The Turning Wheel draws on synth pop, R&B and soul and sees Cabral co-producing and orchestrating an ensemble of 31 musicians, including banjo, harp, bassoon and trombone. Originally meant to be released last September, the twelve-track LP was delayed due to the pandemic and resulted in instrumentalists recording in socially-distanced and remote studio sessions.’
‘The Bay Area’s Chrystia Cabral is back with a new SPELLLING single, “Boys At School,” from her forthcoming album The Turning Wheel. This follows the lead single, “Little Dear,” which previewed a more upbeat, poppy direction. This new track starts as an eccentric piano ballad with haunting vocals and atmospheric synths, and gradually transforms into an intense indie rock anthem.’
‘For Butterfly 3000, the band has chosen to forgo an advance single, artwork, or tracklist, revealing only the number of songs (10), that the record was built around modular synth loops, and that the cover will feature a “cross-eyed autostereogram” by long-time collaborator Jason Galea.’
‘Melbourne-based psych-rock group King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced a new album, Butterfly 3000, which is their second album of 2021. Butterfly 3000 is due out June 11 via the band’s own KGLW label. And that’s all the information they have shared. No advance singles will be released and the album cover and tracklist will not be revealed until the album is out.’
‘Because it’s been almost three months since they released a new album, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced they’ll be back with Butterfly 3000 on June 11 via their own KGLW label. It’ll be their 18th album and according to the press release it’s a suite of 10 songs that “all began life as arpeggiated loops composed on modular synthesisers” before being fleshed out and transformed by the six-piece band. The band describe this one as “melodic + psychedelic.”
‘King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced their second album of 2021, Butterfly 3000, which will be released on June 11th via the band’s own KGLW label.

Jess Cornelius – Body Memory (Peach Fuzz Version) featured on NPR Music’s New Music Friday Playlist
‘Jess Cornelius is always changing into something else, something new. An artist in motion, she moved from her native New Zealand to Australia, before lettering soaking up West Coast elements in the United States. Her work as Teeth & Tongue earned widespread acclaim, growing from a solo project into a full band. Last year’s solo album saw Jess strip her sound right down, and it gains a full UK release on May 14th.’
The innovation isn’t over, however, with the songwriter deciding to reimagine her album cut ‘Body Memory’.
‘LA based Australian artist Jess Cornelius released Distance last year and she’s now shared an alternate version of that album’s “Body Memory.” “I’d started playing the song for myself in a totally different way – on echoey guitar instead of keys, with a dreamy, melancholic mood, and wanted to record it as a sort of ‘part two’,” says Jess.’
‘Already in the oven and in the mill on one of the most bloated discographies since the 2010s at King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – 17 albums in 11 years, to which Les Inrockuptibles have devoted a much-needed retrospective -, Ambrose Kenny-Smith and Cook Craig continue their way outside the Australian formation with the quintet The Murlocs. Author of 4 albums between 2014 and 2019, the Melbourne group returns to the charge with Bittersweet Demons , a brand new record scheduled for June 25 at the New York label ATO.’
‘The rock group The Murlocs has a singular style, a musical quality remarkable that seduced us from the first listen and that we particularly appreciate. This is why it seems essential to us to give it visibility via the video clip of this excellent title that is’ Francesca’. This one should enter the list of the most remarkable titles of the year 2021.’
‘When Ambrose Kenny-Smith isn’t working with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, he focuses on The Murlocs. The band has already written a good four albums and on June 25th a fifth will be added. Bittersweet Demons will be a celebration of all the loved ones of the band members, first single “Francesca” has become an ode to Ambrose Kenny-Smith’s mother. The music for this song was written by keyboard player and guitarist Tim Karmouche.’
‘The rhythm of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is demonic, they do not stop releasing records or there is a global pandemic, even more so when the incombustible group cannot go on tour much. Even so, many fans of the band, and in particular of wondering when Ambrose Kenny-Smith, the other leader of the band, was going to release something new with The Murlocs . The wait is over: the group has just announced the release of their new album ” Bittersweet Demons ” on June 25 through ATO Records.’
‘On Wednesday, SPELLLING (aka Chrystia Cabral) announced the release of her third studio album, The Turning Wheel, due for release on June 25 via Sacred Bones after nearly a year of delays. Cabral also shared the album’s first track and lead single “Little Deer.” Check out the album’s tracklist and cover art here.’
‘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.’
“…Bay Area artist Chrystia Cabral has announced a new SPELLLING album: The Turning Wheel, which follows 2019’s Mazy Fly, is out June 25 via Sacred Bones. Listen to its lead single, “Little Deer”—a song inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic “Wounded Deer” painting—below…”
“”Little Deer,” the first single from The Turning Wheel, drops today, and continues Spellling’s eclectic, genre-defying streak wrapped in a warm and funky atmosphere…”
Chrystia Cabral has shared details of a new album as SPELLLING. The Bay Area-based artist will release The Turning Wheel on June 25 through Sacred Bones Records.
The 12-song The Turning Wheel follows SPELLLING’s acclaimed 2019 LP Mazy Fly, which Exclaim! gave a 9/10 score.
“Jess Cornelius has today announced details of the U.K. release of her debut album, Distance, which came out to much acclaim in the U.S. last summer.
Released on Friday May 14th 2021 on Loantaka Records, the U.K. edition is heralded by a digital single featuring an alternate version of the album track Body Memory and a cover version of the Eagles I Can’t Tell You Why.”
“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.”
