KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD Stream New Single “Sleep Drifter”

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are a crazy, psychedelic septet who just unveiled yet another new single, “Sleep Drifter,” from their forthcoming album Flying Microtonal Banana, due February 24th via ATO Records.

“Earlier this year we started experimenting with a custom microtonal guitar our friend Zak made for Stu,” explains drummer Eric Moore. “The guitar was modified to play in 24-TET tuning and could only be played with other microtonal instruments. We ended up giving everyone a budget of $200 to buy instruments and turn them microtonal. The record features the modified electric guitars, basses, keyboards and harmonica as well as a turkish horn called a Zurna.”

Beginning this Spring, the band will return to the road in North America including a spot at Coachella. They’ll be touring with fellow Aussies ORB and openers Stonefield.
