King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Han-Tyumi & The Murder Of The Universe”

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Han-Tyumi & The Murder Of The Universe”

Australian psych-rock goons King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are making good on their absurd promise to release five albums this year. We’ve already gotten one, the absurdly titled Flying Microtonal Banana, and yesterday they announced another. Murder Of The New Universe is even more absurd and ambitious, a sprawling 21-track LP divided into three different “chapters.” Today, they’ve shared the entire third chapter, a sprawling 13-minute beast called “Han-Tyumi And The Murder Of The Universe” that features some excellent robo-narration. Experience it below.
