11 November 2026 – King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce Entropy and Continue Their Electronic Experimentation

Australian psychedelic-rock adventurers King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have announced Entropy, their twenty-ninth studio album, scheduled for release on December 4 through their own (p)doom records label. The announcement arrives alongside new single Rogue Wave and two extensive North American tours planned for 2027.

Entropy follows earlier release Alien Metal and continues the band's fascination with Eurorack modular synthesizers, which have become increasingly central to their recent sonic palette. The group have even bestowed their modular synthesizer system with a name—Nathan—effectively promoting an electronic instrument to unofficial band-member status.

The eight-track collection features Aeon, Heaven & Hell, Hard Sync, Rogue Wave, Angel, To Mercury…, Face of the Earth and Entropy. According to frontman Stu Mackenzie, the material emerged from the same studio sessions as Alien Metal but gradually developed a sufficiently distinct musical identity to justify a standalone release. Rather than issuing both projects simultaneously, the musicians chose to explore and refine the new songs further.

That adventurous approach reflects a creative philosophy that has made King Gizzard one of contemporary independent music's most prolific and unpredictable groups. Their catalogue moves fluidly between psychedelic rock, heavy metal, electronic exploration, jazz improvisations and unexpected stylistic detours. The newly announced tours will bring the band to American and Canadian audiences throughout August and October 2027.

For independent musicians, King Gizzard remain an inspiring case study in how uncompromised artistic freedom and direct community engagement can support an ambitious release cadence. Apparently releasing twenty-nine albums is still not enough when somebody discovers another fascinating synthesizer and decides it deserves its own recording career.
