King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce New Album Entropy and 2027 North American Tour
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced *Entropy*, a new techno album and companion to *Alien Metal*, alongside two North American tour legs in 2027. The release adds to the Australian band’s synth-driven work, with the first preview track, “Rogue Wave”, presenting a brighter, more upbeat sound.
Due on 4 December through the band’s (p)doom records, *Entropy* was made using the same modular-synth and jam-based approach as *Alien Metal*, but runs at 160 beats per minute compared with its predecessor’s 143. The band says it had originally planned to release both albums together, but the new record’s distinct character led them to develop it separately. The North American dates run from 5 to 27 August and 6 to 22 October, with tickets on sale from 13 November at noon ET; European and UK shows are also planned for summer 2027.
In short
- *Entropy* arrives on 4 December.
- “Rogue Wave” previews the faster, brighter album.
- Two North American tour legs are set for 2027.
Explained simply
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are an Australian band known for releasing music in a range of styles, including rock and electronic music. They make and release records through their own label, (p)doom records.
Their earlier album Alien Metal explored synth-based music using modular synthesizers, instruments that create and shape electronic sounds. Entropy follows the same jam-based process, in which musicians build music through playing together, while taking the project in a separate direction.
The band’s touring plans span North America, Europe and the UK. For listeners, the album and shows add to the group’s ongoing exploration of electronic sounds and its unusually varied catalogue.
