Butterfly 3001

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

January 21, 2022 · Not On Label (King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Self-released)

Butterfly 3001 is a kaleidoscopic expansion of the band's most melodic work, trading the organic warmth of their typical psych-rock for the cold precision and rhythmic complexity of the electronic underground.

It feels like a late-night journey through a digital forest, where familiar vocal hooks from the original album emerge like ghosts through thick layers of sub-bass and glitchy textures. The vibe is one of restless curiosity, moving from the chilled-out dub of Scientist to the aggressive, floor-filling energy of Mall Grab without losing its cohesive sense of wonder.
