Earlier this month, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announced their 26th album, Flight b741, out August 9th via their own p(doom) records. Today the group share their new single, “Hog Calling Contest,” and announced a mini-documentary about the making of the album,“Oink Oink Flight b741: The Making of…”
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will stop at MegaCorp Pavilion on Sunday, August 25th!
On the inspiration for “Hog Calling Contest,” the band explains: “While recording Flight b741, we occasionally had these ultra-inspired tune-up/warm-up jams. Of course, we were never actually recording during these moments though. Lost to time. Except one time; This time. We learned to record these moments; ‘Daily Blues’ came together this way too. But ‘Hog Calling Contest’ retains a unique unhinged-ness that only comes when you’re fooling around with your mates and you don’t think you’re being recorded. Happy in mud!”
