King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announced their first-ever double album, Omnium Gatherum will be available to pre-order on March 22 via their own label KGLW – the official release date has yet to be shared. In line with the extended nature of the album, the lead single, "The Dripping Tap" clocks in at over 18-minutes.
Omnium Gatherum follows King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's 2020 album KG and 2021 albums LW and Butterfly 3000 and marks the first time they recorded together as a band since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic hit. In rare form, offering's 16-tracks pursue many musical styles from progressive jams, to hip-hop, to thrash metal; opposed to their usual approach of addressing a single theme or style, for example, 2016's Nonagon Infinity is comprised primarily of garage contortions. The album is aptly named and is “literally Latin for ‘a collection of miscellaneous people or things’" according to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's Stu Mackenzie in a press release.
"This recording session felt significant. 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," said Mackenzie. "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.”
“The Dripping Tap” is a krautrock-psych jam – which are known for long-form recordings that occasionally tell a sonic story – and showcases the sweeping riffs, inexhaustible energy and control over mood that the band are revered and known for.
