ICE, DEATH, PLANETS, LUNGS, MUSHROOM AND LAVA (RECYCLED BLACK WAX - 2LP)

Things move fast in the Gizzverse, and before Stu Mackenzie and his bandmates had even completed work on their recent mammoth double album Omnium Gatherum, they'd started sketching out this next record. Their Omnium Gatherum single 'The Dripping Tap' had begun life as a handful of ideas and riffs that had arisen at pre-pandemic soundchecks and demos recorded through lockdown.

For this new album, however, the group wouldn't be bringing in any pre-written songs or ideas; instead, they planned to cook up all the music together in the studio, on the spot.
