King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce New Album Entropy and 2027 North American Tour

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced Entropy, a companion release to their recent album, Alien Metal, along with a North American tour in 2027. As a preview of their forthcoming collection, the band put out “Rogue Wave.” Entropy will be released December 4th via Gizz’s own (p)doom records. With the new collection, the Australian psychedelic band have created another techno album, following up on the synthesizer-created Alien Metal, which came out in August. The new record was made on the same modular synth setup as the prior release in the same jam fashion, but the band said the tone of latest songs are brighter and spacier. At a consistent 160 beats per minute throughout its tracks, Entropy is more uptempo than Alien Metal, which clocks in at 143 bpm. “Entropy’s a lot faster, and has a different energy, and we leaned into a lot of different rhythmic things on this one,” frontman Stu Mackenzie said in a press release. “And where Alien Metal had a grungy dirtiness about it, Entropy is prettier, more harmonic, more cosmic.” Get King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Tickets Here Gizz originally planned to release the albums at the same time, but complications with Alien Metal and Entropy’s distinct tone made it feel like its own project, according to the band. We were like, ‘Let’s commit — let’s dig deeper, mine this sound further, and challenge ourselves a bit more.’ Entropy’s definitely coming from its own place,” Mackenzie said. “Rogue Wave” highlights the bouncier, more upbeat feel of Entropy through King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s distinct techno-side psychedelia. A press release described the song “as bold and unabashed and irresistible a pop song as King Gizzard have delivered since their earliest synth excursion, 2021’s Butterfly 3000, cycling between earworm choruses and house-y electric piano chord breakdowns.” Alongside the new album, the band announced two runs of North American tour dates for 2027. The first trek begins with an August 5th and 6th stand in Los Angeles at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. During this summer run, the band also hits San Diego, Portland, Vancouver, and Quincy, Washington, among other cities. They end the summer tour August 27th in Minneapolis at The Armory. The second leg of their 2027 tour commences October 6th in Dallas at Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater. The fall stretch also goes to Atlanta, New Orleans, Toronto, Cleveland, and others. The tour comes to a close October 22nd in Chicago at Wintrust Arena. Tickets for the North American tours go on sale Friday, November 13th at 12:00 p.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Before the band comes to North America, they will tour Europe and the U.K. in the summer of 2027. Entropy Album Artwork: Entopy Tracklist: 01. Aeon 02. Heaven & Hell 03. Hard Sync 04. Rogue Wave 05.
