Listen to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s New Album ‘Laminated Denim’

King Gizzard are very busy this month; in addition to touring North America, they released three albums in three weeks. Ice, death, planets, lungs, mushrooms and lava came out last week, and now here’s Laminated denim, the band’s 22 album in 10 years. They call it a “spiritual successor” to Made in the land of time from earlier this year – “Laminated Denim” is also an anagram of “Made in Timeland” – and it consists of two very jammy 15-minute songs, “The Land Before Timeland” and “Hypertension”.

A little history : Made in the land of time, which is also two 15-minute songs, premiered in 2019 for two shows at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater scheduled for May 2020, envisioned as intermission music between the two 90-minute sets that they would do every night. These shows kept getting postponed due to the pandemic, and King Gizzard got tired of waiting and just released it. But then the Red Rocks show was still going on — they only played them Monday and Tuesday — and needed some new intermission tracks. And here we are with Laminated denim. “We settled in with few ideas and made a lot of recordings and ended up putting it all together,” says bandleader Stu Mackenzie.

To listen Laminated denim below.

After playing those Red Rocks shows, King Gizzard’s tour continues, hitting St. Paul, MN next Friday, and coming to New York for a big show at Forest Hills Stadium on October 21 with noon black, Leah Senior, and the Gizzverse Record Fair. All dates are listed below.

October 21 is also the release of King Gizzard’s third album of the month, Changeswill be out.
