King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's 18th album, 'Butterfly 3000', might be their most fearless leap into the unknown yet: a suite of ten songs that all began life as arpeggiated loops composed on modular synthesisers, before being fashioned into addictive, optimistic and utterly seductive dream-pop by the six-piece. The album sounds simultaneously like nothing they've ever done before, and thoroughly, unmistakeably Gizz, down to its climactic neon psych-a-tronic flourish. From the pulsing, utopian electro-pop of `Yours' and the pitch-bent visions of `Dreams', to the ecstatic, uplifting loops of `Catching Smoke' and the assured fusion of synthetic and acoustic elements on `Interior People' (one of the greatest Gizzard anthems yet), 'Butterfly 3000' displays a confidence at odds with its experimental methods, and a succinctness that pays dividends.
