Demos Vol. 3 + Vol. 4 is a compilation album released by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard on July 15, 2022 , exclusively through Bandcamp and vinyl. It compiles demos and unreleased tracks ranging from the band's entire career. It was originally released as two separate albums (Vol. 3 Music To Eat Pond Scum To and Vol. 4 Music To Die To) but was eventually compiled into one.[1][2]
Recordings
Vol. 3 contains demos from Butterfly 3000, Gumboot Soup, Infest the Rats' Nest, K.G., Omnium Gatherum, and Willoughby's Beach.[2] Vol. 4 contains demos from Flying Microtonal Banana, Murder of the Universe, Fishing for Fishies, Omnium Gatherum, and Nonagon Infinity.[1] Both volumes also contain abandoned concepts that where never turned into full songs.[2][3][4] The albums were released during a break between legs of the band's 2022 European tour, although the final leg was cancelled so that Stu Mackenzie could return to Australia for treatment of his Crohn's disease.[5][6]
