King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce New Album Entropy, Two North American Tours

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are releasing a new album, Entropy, on December 4, a companion to the Eurorack explorations of previous LP, Alien Metal. The rock band have also announced two North American tours taking place next year, one in August and the other October. Below, check out the full tour slate and the project’s first single, “Rogue Wave.”

The band originally planned to release Entropy and Alien Metal at the same time, however, after hitting challenges recording Alien Metal, “Entropy began to feel like its own project, something that could stand on its own, and needed a little longer to simmer,” said frontman Stu Mackenzie in a statement. The key differences between the two? “Alien Metal’s tracks are 143bpm and in F sharp; Entropy’s tracks are at 160bpm and in the key of A,” Mackenzie says.
