King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3001 (2022) [Official Digital Download]

Another KGLW album? No, Butterfly 3001 is a double album of Butterfly 3000 remixes released in June 2021. Here, electro heavyweights with very distinct universes take on the Australians. And it starts very strong, with DJ Shadow at the helm of Black Hot Soup and the Jamaican producer Scientist on Shanghai, sung by Ambrose Kenny-Smith. Hopetown Brown: "I've always wanted to apply my dub mixing techniques to music outside of the typical 'reggae mould.' Their music and especially Shanghai provided me with the perfect landscape to be able to create something rich and exciting. If Butterfly 3000 was already the most electro chapter of the septet's prolific discography, its successor allows the KGLW to hatch a constantly offbeat project. “We put off the idea of ​​making a remix record for a long time,” admits guitarist Joey Walker. “Maybe it was conscious, maybe it wasn't. But it's happening now. That doesn't mean that Butterfly 3000 is the most logical album to remix. This may seem obvious, but no. Yes, it's electronic. But as much as a fridge. Have you tried dancing to Butterfly? Impossible, it's as if your shoelaces were tied together. It is deviously simple. And Butterfly 3001 manages to exceed that. We don't know if Butterfly 3001 is easier to dance to, but the diversity of the cast offers the luxury of eclecticism: the Flaming Lips on the psych-pop Ya Love, Peaches on the modular Neu Butterfly 3000, Aurelia Kaitlyn Smith on the synthetic patchwork Catching Smoke, to whom Dâm-Funk offered a more groovy reading a few tracks earlier, the rising star of lo-fi house Mall Grab or even the rarest Hieroglyphic Being. It was worth the wait.
