Iā€™m new here, whatā€™s the deal with the labels around the pads? I mean I figure it helps them play those songs live in some way but I just donā€™t know enough about sequencers to know what purpose those labels would be there for.

And the album is announced! August 9th, pre order in a week:

I think the labels are to help remind the user which sample is assigned to which buttonā€¦ lotta buttons so itā€™d be easy to get lost and forget which does what. A button with a ā€œYoursā€ label suggests that thereā€™s a sample from that song assigned to that button.

Flight b741 vinyl pre-order details, going live July 9th 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST /3pm CEST /11 pm AEST.

Official Lyrics from YouTube description

Feel it, know it
Trust in the lie youā€™ve been sold
Oh yeah?
No risk?
Tell yourself whatever you need to hear
To fall just right, like a dagger from a height
Causeā€™ death to me, is a life lived safely

Gimme something to thin the blood
Thereā€™s nothinā€™ quite like digginā€™ graves for fun
It gets my body ringing like a bell
ā€˜Cause Iā€™m the fuckinā€™ recoil of a gun in hell

Ha ha ha ha ha, alright
No heart
(no heart)
No tick
(no tick)
Iā€™m weak as piss
No risk
No fire
(no fire)
No flame
(no flame)
Iā€™m always feelinā€™ the same
The risk
(the risk)
It sits
(it sits)
At the tip of my tiny prick
No style
(no style)
No ease
(no ease)
Iā€™m a pathetic forgotten steaze

Alright
The risk
Letā€™s ride
The risk
Well, alright
The risk
Oh, itā€™s time
The risk
Okay letā€™s ride

Hello, Evil Kneviel
Running through the red light
Phillippe Petit, yeah
Walk the tightwire
Take the risk, take the risk
You only live once

Where softer souls do sleep
In the hush of morningā€™s glow
I rest not, I cannot
I just go
The risk, my muse
For its focus I depend
Nosedive into the ocean
Do dangerous shit and transcend
This world,
(this world)
it spins too slow
Its tempo paints my world in grey
My heart cannot beat fast enough
The risk is technicolour paint
One life,
(one life)
one chance
(one chance)
Clench the moment in your hand
Adrenaline, my dearest friend, itā€™s me and you until the end

Hereā€™s a little write-up on todayā€™s announcement that came through Gizzymail:

Proving once more that the appellation ā€œKingā€ is no misnomer, King Gizzard has just released soundboard (SBD) recordings and ā€œstemsā€ of their North American tour from its start in D.C. up to Chicago. More SBDs will come as the tour progresses.

Dave, the bandā€™s Archivist, revealed this addition of tour SBDs to the bandā€™s Official Bootlegger site. He also shared plans to release a Bootlegger Bandcamp page for these recordings. Their promise is new SBDs just a few days after each show (wifi permitting).

To fans like us, the immediate benefit is access to the highest quality recordings of these phenomenal shows. KGLW.net will add these SBDs to Gizz Tapes as soon as possible so that they can be conveniently enjoyed from our player.

With patience we can expect a flood of ā€œmatrixā€ recordings, which many fans prefer even over SBDs. Matrix recordings combine a SBD source with an audience (AUD) recording to create a warmer mix that feels more like actually being there.

The band also released the stems of these recordings, which are the isolated tracks that result in the mix that we hear through the speakers. With these 8-12 tracks per song, the possibility of remixing is endless!

For those of us who have been captivated by live King Gizzard recordings, this has really been the holy grail. As you dig back through the bandā€™s history (even recent history) there are many gaps in the record because nobody was there to record the show. That is a worry no longer!
