The announcement of FLIGHT b741 comes after a rather subdued 2023 that saw King Gizzard spend much of the year touring America. They did find the time to release two records though, the heavy masterpiece PetroDragonic Apocalypse Or, Dawn Of Eternal Night: An Annihilation Of Planet Earth And The Beginning Of Merciless Damnation and the electronic themed, The Silver Cord.
FLIGHT b741 will be released on Friday, August 9. You can pre-order the album on Tuesday, July 9 via the band’s website.
