King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have only just completed their latest run of European tour dates, which saw them selling out venues across the continent and playing to absolutely savage crowds who lapped up everything the Melbourne psychedelic collective threw at them.

They’ve apparently hit the ground running, wasting no time in immediately getting to work on their next release. The band recently took to their official Instagram channel to share a photo of frontman Stu Mackenzie sitting happily in the studio with the words, “Here we go.”

Judging by that missive we can only assume that the band are getting to work on one of the four albums they plan on releasing in 2017. “We’re actually working on four separate projects at the moment, which hopefully we can release next year sometime,” Mackenzie previously told triple j.

“Four Gizzard albums, I guess next year, that’s the idea,” drummer Eric Moore added. “Stu’s been chipping away at this record that we’ve tracked all the music for and it’s just the stage of putting together a few overdubs and get it mixed.”

According to Mackenzie, “They’re all kind of distinct little ideas that we’ve been toying with for a little while.” Meanwhile, the eagerly anticipated Nonagon Infinity album movie, set to drop towards the end of the year, is still in the works, as is Gizzfest 2016.

The band announced the return of their acclaimed mini-festival earlier this month. It’s set to kick off in November and will feature appearances from Pond, White Fence, The Murlocs, and more. We’d say the band will probably like to get some sleep after that, but they still have four albums to make.

UPDATE: King Gizzard’s record label, Flightless Records, have confirmed the band’s next album has been completed. The photo of Mackenzie in the studio is likely the commencement of the mixing and mastering process for the follow-up to this year’s Nonagon Infinity.
