King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have confirmed that their 28th studio album is complete, teasing a bold shift into techno territory. The Australian psych-rock band shared a brief video on Instagram showing members surrounded by synths while a fast-paced electronic beat plays, hinting at a new direction.
This follows 2025's 'Phantom Island,' which featured lush orchestral arrangements. The band has a history of genre-hopping, and rumors persist of a potential bluegrass collaboration with Billy Strings, though unconfirmed.
The upcoming album will be released on the band's own p(doom) Records imprint. The news comes after the group pulled their music from Spotify in protest of CEO Daniel Ek's investment in defense company Helsing.
King Gizzard continues to defy expectations, with a new techno album marking yet another creative pivot for the prolific outfit.
