Butterfly 3000

"It may be set apart from the rest of the Gizzverse repertoire, but `Butterfly 3000' sounds familiar nonetheless. Given that they're self-confessed music-geeks, it's no surprise that King Gizzard have considered every element right down to the mid-phrase time changes (`Blue Morpho') and dub-trance experimentation (`2.02 Killer Year'). But this formulaic approach lacks surprise - once you're a few tracks in, you've heard it all. It might not be a total hot Gizz summer, but at least we've got a few extra bangers to bask in".

"Anyone thinking that they might finally be running out of steam will have to readjust their timetables; Butterfly 3000 is the work of a band with a million ideas and the skills to make them all work like a dream. In this case, a shiny, happy dream that leaves the sleeper feeling refreshed and at peace upon awakening".

"Album number 18 was recorded in the band's homes during the pandemic, and trades psych-rock blitzes for a finely-woven sprawl of synth programming and MIDI sequences ... The coming of their most concise and carefree release truly could not have been better timed".
