Fuzz Club’s latest official King Gizzard And The Lizard bootleg, ‘Music To Eat Pond Scum And Die To’, is a double LP comprised of the third and fourth volumes of the band’s demos and rarities collections released as part of their official bootlegger series.
With demos dating back over a decade, the 26-track double album includes early versions of tracks from ‘Gumboot Soup’ (2017), ‘Willoughby’s Beach’ (2011), ‘Omnium Gatherum’ (2022), ‘Flying Microtonal Banana’ (2017), ‘Infest The Rats’ Nest’ (2019), ‘K.G.’ (2020), ‘Murder Of The Universe’ (2017), ‘Fishing For Fishies’ (2019) and ‘Nonagon Infinity’ (2016). There are also a number of unfinished and unreleased cuts that never saw the light of day, ranging from the thrashing punk of ‘Uncolonise’ to instrumental krautrock jams like ‘German Rock ‘n’ Rolle’ and the Harmonia-channeling ‘Music To Eat Pond Scum To’, by way of cinematic, fantasy-like synthscapes (‘Party Potential’, ‘Music To Die To’) that almost evoke retro video-game soundtracks.
