King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard release the title track “Alien Metal” as the next single from their upcoming album, also titled Alien Metal. The Australian psych-rock band previously put out “Level 5,” and “Alien Metal” is reported as the second single from the project. Sources describe the record as a techno-leaning release, reflecting the band’s recent shift toward electronic experimentation. Following a run of “rave” shows last year, the band developed an interest in modular Eurorack synthesizers and built and used a synth setup they call “Nathan.” They recorded Alien Metal using that Eurorack arrangement. Alien Metal is characterized as the group’s 28th album. The album is scheduled to come out later this summer, while “Alien Metal” is made available now as a streamed release of the title track. Overall coverage focuses on the band’s continued prolific output, the album’s techno orientation, and the use of the band’s modular “Nathan” synth system as part of the album’s production.
