King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Announce Debut Album ‘12 Bar Bruise’

The suspense has been slowly ascending, and finally the time has come to release the gritties vis-à-vis KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD’S debut album.

As you can see so eloquently stated in the title, the record has been dubbed ’12 Bar Bruise,’ an appropriate name considering the album is a total annihilation of all that has been and all that will be. But more about that on its official release date, September 7^th. To tickle your fancy, check out the album cover above in all its glory.

We’ve already given you insights to ‘Bloody Ripper’ and ‘Elbow’, and it is officially fair to say that it just keeps getting better. Peruse the track list.

2. Muckraker

3. Nein

4. 12 Bar Bruise

5. Garage Liddiard

6. Sam Cherry’s Last Shot

7. High Hopes Low

8. Cut Throat Boogie

This album is riding an unbelievable wave of hype like some sort of surfing pro. And for good reason. It’s GIZZARD at its best. Look forward to hearing ’12 Bar Bruise’ on September 7; and until then, entertain your imagination with reviews like this…

“It’s filled with energetic slabs of psych-garage, ocker wit and the type of scuzzed out hysteria that picks you up and hurls you down bluntly without permission.”

The boys of KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD can hurl me down bluntly without permission any day… I feel compelled to say ‘with their music,’ but we all know that’s not true, so why mince words?
