#kinggizzard&thelizardwizard King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the prolific Australian psychedelic rock band, has recently released a second song from their upcoming 26th album, Flight b741. The track, titled “Hog Calling Contest,” showcases the band’s signature honky tonk twang in their own unique style. According to the group, the song was born out of spontaneous jam sessions during the recording of the album. These unrehearsed moments of musical inspiration were captured on tape, resulting in a raw and unhinged sound that can only come from carefree experimentation with friends.
In addition to releasing the new song, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard has also unveiled a 15-minute mini documentary titled Oink Oink Flight b741: The Making of… The documentary chronicles the band’s creative process as they set out to record the album in just two weeks. Director Guy Tyzak describes the challenges of capturing the band’s spontaneous energy in the studio, as they eschewed preparation in favor of a more organic approach to recording. The documentary also offers a glimpse into the band’s creative vision, with Tyzak transforming the recording room into a vibrant, sky-themed space to match the album’s aesthetic.
Fans can watch the documentary and listen to “Hog Calling Contest” on the band’s official channels. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will kick off the North American leg of their 2024 world tour on August 15 in Washington, DC, with a special three-hour marathon set planned for their shows at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium on August 16 and 17. The band will be joined by Geese and DJ Crenshaw for these epic performances, which are part of a series of larger venue shows across the country.
Flight b741 is set to be released on August 9, marking yet another milestone in King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s ever-expanding discography.
