Aussie band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced Butterfly 3001, a full-length featuring remixes of Butterfly 3000 songs. The new album—out January 21st via KGLW—includes contributions from Yu Su, Deaton Chris, DJ Shadow, Donato Dozzy, Flaming Lips, DāM-FunK, and more. Below, take a listen to Peaches’ “Neu Butterfly 3000,” and the Scientist’s dub of “Shanghai.”
Butterfly 3000 was the prolific Australian band’s second studio album of 2021, following February’s “L.W.” Later this month, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are playing shows in Brisbane, Australia, before restarting their tour in 2022.
“We’ve put off doing a remix album for a long time. Maybe it was conscious, maybe it wasn’t. But it’s happening now. That’s not to say that “Butterfly 3000” makes the most sense to remix. It might seem like the obvious one, but it’s not. Yes it’s electronic. But so is a fridge. Have you tried to dance to Butterfly? It’s hard. It ties your shoelaces together. It’s duplicitous in its simplicity. But “Butterfly 3001” expands on this. It also deviates and obliterates. We’re honoured to have such esteemed people go to work on these songs. We hope you love this album as much as we do.
