Description

Released November 17, 2017, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Polygondwanaland stands as the Australian psychedelic collective’s fourth album of their prolific year, representing a bold experiment in both musical artistry and distribution philosophy. This stunning 4-color vinyl edition showcases the band’s generous spirit while delivering one of their most cohesive and progressive statements.

The multicolored vinyl perfectly complements Jason Galea’s intricate artwork while delivering the full dynamic range of Stu Mackenzie’s intricate production.
