Australian psych rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are back to announce a new remix album, Butterfly 3001.
“We’ve put off doing a remix album for a long time,” King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard explain. “Maybe it was conscious, maybe it wasn’t. But it’s happening now. That’s not to say that Butterfly 3000 makes the most sense to remix. It might seem like the obvious one, but it’s not. Yes it’s electronic. But so is a fridge.”
Today, they’ve previewed the collection with two new tracks. King Gizzard have released a dub version of “Shanghai” by The Scientist and a remix of “Neu Butterfly 3000” from Peaches.
Listen to the Butterfly 3001 previews below.
“Have you ever tried to dance to Butterfly? It’s hard,” they continue. “It ties your shoelaces together. It’s duplicitous in its simplicity. But Butterfly 3001 expands on this. It also deviates and obliterates. We’re honoured to have such esteemed people go to work on these songs. We hope you love this album as much as we do. See you in DA CLUB!!!”
