Omnium Gatherum is the 20th studio album and first double album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 22 April 2022. The album was announced on 8 March 2022 and made available for pre-order on 22 March.
Omnium Gatherum is an album that sees the band hopping between numerous different genres, including psychedelia, progressive rock, heavy metal, synth-pop, folk, jazz, R&B, and soul. "The Dripping Tap" is a prog-jam that zigzags between krautrock, thrash metal, stoned soul, neo soul, acid rock, and noise music. "Magenta Mountain" and "Kepler-22b" are dream pop, neo-psychedelia, and psychedelic pop songs that feature "shuffling beats under wonderful harmonies", with the forming including electronic pop and the latter incorporating astral-jazz. "Gaia" and "Predator X" are both heavy metal and heavy psych songs, with the former incorporating thrash metal, psychedelic metal, grind metal, death metal and psych-prog. "Ambergris" is a jazz-funk and lounge-funk track, while "Candles" drifts into late 90s chillout "Sadie Sorceress" and "The Grim Reaper" introduce rap elements to the King Gizzard sound, with the later incorporating microtonality and psychedelia. "The Garden Goblin" is a twee lo-fi bedroom-prog and psych-pop song and "Evilest Man" features political acid rock. Lounge-influenced closer "The Funeral" has middle eastern guitar flourishes and an ethereal ending.
