  Butterfly 3000

  In 2010, Peter Gabriel shared a theory that many artists have held since time immemorial: "Happy music that is genuinely joyful is probably the hardest music to write." That same year, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard embarked on a journey of building a self-contained universe of demented prog and acid-fried freak-outs. It might be realms apart from "Solsbury Hill" and much of their own catalog, but the dreamy ease of Butterfly 3000 makes the...

  Release Date: Jun 11, 2021

  Bodies

  An ember inside? Bodies is AFI's eleventh full-length album and it shows. That's precisely the backhanded compliment that it sounds like: they clearly have their formula down pat after thirty years, which means we get another reliably good album (because AFI is a consistently great band), but it comes with very few surprises.
