King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have released their 25th (!) studio album, The Silver Cord. Stream it below.

As always with King Gizzard albums, The Silver Cord serves as a platform for the band to explore a variety of musical ideas, this time focusing on: electronic, synth-led arrangements and breaking down the structural notion of a song. The album artwork depicts the Australian group surrounded by a plethora of synths and electronic devices, setting the tone for their computerized compositions, while the two different editions of the album — one standard and one “extended” — cues listeners in as to what to expect.

The standard edition of the album features songs that are, well, more along the lines of what a “standard” pop song would be, with recognizable structures and choruses, and landing somewhere around the 3-minute mark. The “extended” edition, however, presents tracks that range from 10 to 20 minutes, and, as explained in the press release,...

It’s about time for a new King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard album. The psych rockers have announced their next project The Silver Cord, which is due out October 27th.

The Silver Cord arrives just a couple short months after King Gizz’s last album, the metal-leaning PetroDragonic Apocalypse. But this go around, the band say they’ll revert more towards the electronic influences explored on their pandemic-era album Butterfly 3000, citing classic disco and Kraftwerk as some of its influences.

“It’s definitely synth-y,” the group’s Joey Walker said of The Silver Cord. “You could draw comparisons in many ways, but just in the nature of us being in the same room and playing and writing together, it’s vastly different than Butterfly.”

The Silver Cord is seven tracks long, but according to an Instagram post, King Gizzard will also be issuing a version that includes “extended” versions of each tune.
