King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is back with some exciting news for all you music geeks out there! The Aussie rockers have officially dropped the bombshell that their upcoming album, titled The Silver Cord, is on the horizon. And that’s not all, they’ve even treated us to a tantalizing video featuring three new tracks: Theia, The Silver Cord, and Set, which kicks off the album in style. Mark your calendars because this musical masterpiece is set to hit the shelves on October 27th. But before you do that, make sure to check out their mind-bending video.Now, you might be wondering, what’s so special about The Silver Cord? Well, first off, it’s the follow-up to their June release, PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Quite the mouthful, isn’t it? This new record marks their 25th studio album, a milestone worth celebrating.But wait, there’s more! The band is spoiling us with not one, but two versions of the album. Stu Mackenzie, the brains behind the operation, had this to say: The first version’s really condensed, trimming all the fat. And on the second version, that first song, ‘Theia,’ is 20 minutes long. It’s the ‘everything’ version—those seven songs you’ve already heard on the first version, but with a whole lot of other stuff we recorded while making it.It’s clear that King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is pushing the boundaries here, aiming to challenge our attention spans when it comes to music. Mackenzie’s inspiration from Donna Summer’s epic records with Giorgio Moroder is evident, and he’s not willing to settle for anything less than the full experience. In his words, I’m one of those people who wants to hear the whole thing. We’re testing the boundaries of people’s attention spans when it comes to listening to music, perhaps—but I’m heavily interested in destroying such concepts.So, there you have it, folks. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is back with a vengeance, promising us a musical journey that’s both condensed and expansive, all in one album. Get ready to dive into The Silver Cord on October 27th, and be prepared to have your music-loving minds blown!
