“…King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared details of Murder of the Universe, their second album of 2017 — and far from the last if they stay on target. The 21-track concept album is divided into three chapters…”
“…Ty Segall has just shared “Break a Guitar,” the opening salvo from his self-titled album, which is due next week (1/27) via Drag City. The song sets the tone for the album: thick, swampy, glammy riff rock…”
Ty Segall AND Ex-Cult AND CFM all have their own albums out this year, but don’t let that make you think GØGGS is some tossed-off side project.
“King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard released their new album Paper Mâché Dream Balloon last week and if you haven’t heard it yet it’s streaming through the service of your choice (we’ve got Spotify below). The record eschews their crazed psych-garage in favor of acoustic instruments, jazzy arrangements and more than a little flute…”
“Then Ezra Furman took things up a notch with a spirited, sax-fueled set. Furman’s a charismatic, charming guy and between the confessional, storytelling nature of many of his songs and folk-rock style, it’s all a little late-’80s Violent Femmes yet there’s nobody else quite like him…”
“Prolific Australian psych rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard released the raucous Quarters on Castle Face back in May and will release a second 2015 album, the gentler Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, on ATO this November, and they just wrapped up a tour supporting all of it. The tour concluded in NYC last night (9/16) at Music Hall of Williamsburg with the Burger-signed Michael Rault and the Captured Tracks-signed EZTV…”
“t wasn’t till the yodel-y “Still Together” that things got nutty again. Mac spit water on the crowd who literally lapped it up like baby birds. (People really, really, really love Mac DeMarco.)…”
“Ezra Furman defies easy categorization, actually singing “let’s wreck all these preconceived notions” on “Ordinary Life,” one of the standout cuts from his new album Perpetual Motion People that dabbles in folk, doo-wop, distorted rock, and hooky guitar pop…”
“Fuzz, Ty Segall’s proto-metal-ish trio, will release their second album, bluntly titled II, on October 23 via In the Red…”
“There are those that say that a prolific rock guitarist like Ty Segall should never put down the electric. Why would he? But those that cling to this narrow viewpoint, have obviously never seen Ty Segall rock a crowd without the benefit of electric amplification…”
Indie rocker Mikal Cronin and band began a UK/EU tour last Thursday (5/28) at Primavera Sound, in support of their third studio album MCIII, out now on Merge. We caught them playing London’s 100 Club last night (6/1), with pictures in this post.
Mikal Cronin celebrated the release of his third album, the factually-titled MCIII, at Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday night (5/5), part of his current tour.
Cassettes are hip and vinyl sales are on the rise, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that a record label has spun off a new company that will release obscure soundtracks on vinyl, and… movies on VHS. That would be Terror Vision which was started by Ryan Graveface of Black Moth Super Rainbow and Graveface Records. There will also be a video rental store as part of the Graveface Records & Curiosities shop in Savannah, GA.
“ii) Gold” is part of a six-song cycle that inhabits Side 2 of the album. It’s got a soaring chorus, a breakdown featuring Mikal on traditional Greek instrument the tzouras, as well as a let-it-all-hang-out finish.
Thee Oh Sees are in town for two announced NYC shows with Los Angeles’ Jack Name: Bowery Ballroom tonight (11/18) and Warsaw on Friday (11/21).
Ty Segall waves goodbye to Death By Audio.
Then there was King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, no strangers to Baby’s All Right, who came armed with three guitarists, two drummers, a flute and an insane amount of energy. The Australian band may have played more shows during CMJ than any other band, but their crazed stage presence never flagged, nor did audiences bouncing.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have a new album on the way, I’m in Your Mind Fuzz, next month and the band recently shared another song off the album. Check out the fairly gentle “Hot Water” along with the previously released “Cellophane.”
We now have details on the new Quintron & Miss Pussycat album. It’s titled Spellcaster II: Death In Space and will be out October 28 On Pizza Burglar Records. The new record is a mix of their signature organ-driven party jams and droney, atmospheric instrumentals. We’ve got the premiere of “Do the Raid,” which definitely falls into the former category, which you can stream in this post.
The official 2014 ACL Festival Late Night Shows have been announced for both weekendsof this year’s Austin City Limits festival. Highlights of the first weekend include Beck at Stubb’s, Jenny Lewis at Stubb’s, Interpol at Stubb’s, Rhye at the Paramount, and Mac DeMarco at Scoot Inn…
Brooklyn Vegan announces new Quintron & Miss Pussycat LP, fall tour dates
In other news, White Fence have finally released a song from their forthcoming Ty Segall-produced album, For the Recently Found Innocent which is out July 22 via Drag City. “Like That” is a mod stomper in the early Who style and is pretty good.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s ” Brooklyn Summer Fun Residency” was supposed to be over already but the Australian psych band just can’t seem to get enough of Brooklyn…or maybe Baby’s All Right can’t get enough of them.
Thee Oh Sees are in town for Northside, playing a free outdoor show in McCarren Park on Saturday (6/14) with The Blind Shake and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. RSVP is still open for that.

Australian psych band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard stopped off in NYC after Austin Psych Fest and they never got around to leaving. They’ll be here through this month at least, as they’ve just announced a Brooklyn Summer Fun Residency…
