It’s a great setlist so give it a spin:

ORB dropped their latest full-length “Tailem Bend” today. You can support the band directly on Bandcamp, or order a cool vinyl variant from Fuzz Club, Flightless, Levitation, or your local record store.

My take? A different direction from ORB’s past albums, focusing less on heavy riff driven psych with some lighter psych pop. Having spent a decent time listening to The Frowning Clouds which included members of ORB - I feel like this is a great unionizing of the influences for both projects. As much as I might have wished for another album of headbangers, I’m really excited to see such versatility from these guys and I hope to see them continue to tour and release music. My standout track so far is “Karma Comes” - a 3 and a half minute trip through psych pop - all the way from Sgt. Pepper to Itchycoo Park.

Check out the music video that also dropped today, starring Frowning Clouds/Bannanagun member Nick Van Bakel

The track clocks in at 3:34 and is an all around feel-good boogie rock jam with distinctive verses from Joey, Cavs (!!!), Ambrose, and Stu. The video shows the band having fun in a vintage aircraft hangar dressed in green flight suits.

FLIGHT b741 is set for an August 9 release date and is up for pre-order at p(doom) now.

Today King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announced that their 26th studio album (and first of 2024) “FLIGHT b741” via Instagram will be released August 9 the band’s own label p(doom) records. In addition the album will be available for pre-order July 9 and the first single and music video for the album will drop the same day. No word on style or genre, but the cover art diorama is reminiscent of the Paper Mâché Dream Balloon cover which was a completely acoustic psych-folk record.

King Gizz multi-instrumentalist and Murlocs front man Ambrose Kenny-Smith took to his Instagram account to announce the new single and video.

This track means the world to me.
Dad sent me some lyrics a few years ago and I made a demo to go with it but we never got around to finishing it off.
After he passed away last year it felt right to revisit. This song has helped me more than anything to get through this last year.
He would always sign off on his emails and letters with ‘love - Dud x’.
I miss him everyday.

Video out now on GUM’s YouTube channel.

New single ‘You Do’ cruises on a ‘70s psych-pop groove warped under the Pacific sun – snaking through syncopated percussion, funky wah licks and flute. On the track, the band say: “Just like the Murray River of Tailem Bend, a small rural town with a name that made us think of some lost prog act when we passed it on tour, You Do is one of the many sharp turns on the new record. It features our old Frowning Clouds bandmate Nick vanBakel (now of Bananagun) on congas and Ashley Goodall on backing vocals.”

Tailem Bend is due July 12 on Flightless/Fuzz Club/Levitation.

Video is up on Fuzz Club’s YouTube channel.

The tour is reminiscent of Gizz’s 2023 US Residency tour, which was very successful. In addition to allowing folks to catch multiple gizz shows in a single weekend, the shows are filmed in high quality making for easy bootlegging and home viewing.

Are you going to be there?

The Murlocs first live album “Live at the Teragram Ballroom” is out on streaming now with preorders open for vinyl at p(doom)/bandcamp/etc.

Be sure to check out the live video on YouTube as well which can’t be embedded here for some reason! My only question - are The Murlocs too good?

From Instagram:

This one is a weird one with no guitar or keys and a full horn section
What the fuck, right?
Fuck it, why not.

Dig in and get ready for another year on the planet Earth
Hope you dig
Hope you live
<3
Osees

The super fancy versions are already sold out but you can preorder the vinyl now!

I have no idea what the name means. ChatGPT thinks it’s talking about the 80cc class fo the Southern Off-Road Championship Series. Maybe. I’m glad to see no obvious identifiers for the album or it’s contents. Who among us hasn’t helplessly crawled through the massive Osees section at the record store?
