King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Butterfly 3001 2xLP Vinyl Record (Dark Blue Marbled “Morpho Wax Edition”)

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have now released “Butterfly 3001″, a remix album of their 2021 album, “Butterfly 3000”. Prior to its release, the band shared two of the albums singles, “Neu Butterfly” (Peaches Remix) and “Shanghai” (Dub by The Scientist).

King Gizzard’s Joey Walker elaborates: “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. 

For their “Neu Butterfly” remix, Peaches “wanted to make this remix sound like a lizard. Slippery wet and scaly dry. Something that wiggles through wide open spaces… with slits for eyeballs…. And danceable.” Legendary producer The Scientist says “I’ve always enjoyed being able to apply my dub mixing techniques to music outside of the typical ‘reggae mold.’ The music of KGLW, and specifically the song ‘Shanghai,’ provided me with the perfect landscape to be able to create something sonically rich and exciting for the listener. KGLW fans and dub-reggae fans, alike, will enjoy this song very much.”
