King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – Gumboot Soup (Vinyl LP)

Australian rockers King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard said they would issue five full-length LPs in 2017 alone and with the release of Gumboot Soup at the tail end of the year they accomplished the mean feat. Gumboot Soup follows February’s Flying Microtonal Banana, June’s Murder of the Universe, August’s Sketches of Brunswick East, and November’s Polygondwanaland. In an interview with Consequence of Sound, the band’s Stu Mackenzie described their final record of 2017 as a “place for us to put a lot of different ideas that we’re trying to experiment within the song, rather than within the whole record. And for me, some of my favorite songs of the year are on the fifth record. It’s more song-oriented than album-oriented.”
