KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - Gumboot Soup (Reissue) - LP - Black Bio Vinyl [OCT 31]

LP - Limited Edition Black Bio Vinyl (2025 Reissue). 

Heavenly Recordings are proud to announce vinyl reissues of classic albums by the mighty King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

Each of these albums has been pressed on black bio-vinyl wax, an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional vinyl wax. The sleeves for each album are paper casing, using no glue or plastics, making them fully recyclable - should you one day decide to part with it. More King Gizzard vinyl reissues will follow in the coming months.

These classic Heavenly Recordings vinyl have been repressed ahead of the band embarking on their Rave / Orchestra run of UK shows this Autumn, including a special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall with The Covent Garden Sinfonia.

This year King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard released their 27th album.

In 2022 King Gizzard won the inaugural Wilderness Environment Music Prize.

Gumboot Soup:

Our minds unpack, muscles relax
We are superfluous, and in a stupor
We only fall asleep willingly
At the wheel that steers us into our future

After four studio albums and two international tours in 2017 alone, one would think KGLW were done for the year. With one more promised, something had to be done with all the extra material that either didn’t fit on, or was developed separate from the first four of the year.

Gumboot Soup is an eclectic mix of songs; some exist ‘between’ albums with the concept of one and the sound of another, others simply too good to rot in the vault waiting for a future project to fit into. Don’t be fooled into thinking of these as B-sides. Gumboot Soup is the high quality culmination of the insane project to release five studio albums in one calendar year, arriving just in time in the last days of December.
