King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have formally announced their new album, The Silver Cord, with a video for three new songs: “Theia,” “The Silver Cord,” and “Set,” the album’s opening suite. The full-length is due out October 27. Watch the new video below.
The new album will be available in standard and extended editions. Of the two versions, the band’s Stu Mackenzie said in a statement:
The first version’s really condensed, trimming all the fat. And on the second version, that first song, “Theia,” is 20 minutes long. It’s the “everything” version—those seven songs you’ve already heard on the first version, but with a whole lot of other shit we record while making it. It’s for the Gizz-heads. I love Donna Summer’s records with Giorgio Moroder, and I’d never listen to the short versions now—I’m one of those people who wants to hear the whole thing. We’re testing the boundaries of people’s attention spans when it comes to listening to music, perhaps—but I’m heavily interested in destroying such concepts.
