Demos Vol. 5 + Vol. 6 is a compilation album released by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard on 31 August 2023, 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. 5 Music to Think Existentially To and Vol. 6 Music to Burn Money To) but was eventually compiled into one.[1][2]

Recordings

Both Vol. 5 and Vol. 6 contains demos from Infest the Rats' Nest, Omnium Gatherum, and Willoughby's Beach as well as abandoned concepts that were never turned into full songs.[1][2] The albums were hinted at being soon to be released as early as 17 July 2022, but were ultimately released on "Bandcamp Friday", 31 August 2023, during a hiatus between albums alongside Live in Chicago '23.[3][4]

Track listing

Albums were mastered by Joseph Carra with cover art by Jason Galea.[1][2][5]
