King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have announced details of their forthcoming album ‘PetroDragonic Apocalypse’, which is apparently “heavy as fuck”. The album will be out on 16th June via KGLW
The artist will be playing a one-off show in Los Angeles as well as residencies in New York, Paris and at London’s Hackney Empire. Accompanied by a full band, he will be performing ‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ in its entirety, as well as other songs from his catalogue with new arrangements.
‘“This recording session felt significant,” he continues. “Significant because it was the first time all six Gizzards had gotten together after an extraordinarily long time in lockdown. Significant because it produced the longest studio recording we’ve ever released. Significant because (I think) it’s going to change the way we write and record music – at least for a while… A turning point. A touchstone. I think we’re entering into our ‘jammy period’. It feels good.”’
‘King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have announced their next album, Butterfly 3000, which will arrive on June 11 via the band’s own KGLW label. The LP marks the band’s second album of 2021 following February’s L.W. and their 18th studio album overall. Check out the announcement below.’
“Following the release of their latest album ‘K.G.’, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard aren’t slowing down, sharing brand new track ‘If Not Now, Then When?’ accompanied by an animated video.”
The raw video and audio files for ‘Automation’ are up on the band’s website, where the group are encouraging fans to submit their remixes and fan-made videos, with the best one being shared as the “official video” for the track.

“…in between impossibly gorgeous, slowed-down renditions of ‘2’ favourite ‘Annie’ and more recent track ‘Without Me’ – both of which prove that, without any bells and whistles, the singer’s got a crooner’s pair of pipes that could melt the stoniest of hearts”

“Most people would kill at least three likeable acquaintances to spend a day in the company of Mac DeMarco. Photographer Laura-Lynn Petrick spent two entire weeks following him around. Instead of basking in his glory and laughing at all his jokes…”
“Formed in Vancouver, with Captured Tracks labelmate Alex Calder, Makeout Videotape was Mac DeMarco’s first serious band – by his standards, anyway – and it took him out on tour for the first time, too in support of Japandroids…”
“Recorded in two weeks from his Far Rockaway, Queens space, it’s a simple, loved-up work that benefits from its own sense of ease…”
“Ty Segall is to reissue his two T. Rex covers records this year as an expanded ‘Ty-Rex’ album…”
“There’s a ramshackle magical confidence that tumbles throughout all the songs, a sense that Furman has created his own unique, captivating world…”

Following an appearance at Field Day London, Mac DeMarco visited BBC Radio 6 Music’s studios for an acoustic and full-band session.
