King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce New Album Entropy, Two North American Tours
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will release their new album, *Entropy*, on 4 December and have announced two North American tours for next year. The album began as a companion to *Alien Metal*, but frontman Stu Mackenzie said recording challenges led the band to develop it as a project in its own right.
*Entropy* has eight tracks, including the first single, “Rogue Wave”. Mackenzie described a musical distinction between the albums: *Alien Metal* is at 143 beats per minute in F sharp, while *Entropy* is at 160 beats per minute in A. The August tour includes dates across the western United States and Canada; the October run covers the southern and eastern United States, Montreal, Toronto and Chicago.
In short
- *Entropy* arrives on 4 December.
- The album features eight tracks, including “Rogue Wave”.
- King Gizzard have announced two North American tours for next year.
Explained simply
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are an Australian band led by singer and guitarist Stu Mackenzie. They are known for releasing music across a range of styles, and have sometimes built albums around connected ideas or sounds.
A companion album is intended to relate to another record, through its themes, music or the way it was made. In this case, recording difficulties changed the plan for Entropy, which became a separate eight-track project. The band’s North American tours will take in cities across the United States and Canada.
