For anyone who has ever wondered what goes into making a King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard album cover, ponder no more.

Posting to Instagram the band’s resident artist Jason Galea has shared a series of photos revealing the process through which he and the band arrived upon the final artwork for 15th album Infest The Rats’ Nest.

As with Pink Floyd and their Hipgnosis design team before them, King Gizzard doesn’t skimp when it comes to creating evocative imagery to accompany their music.

In his post, Galea shares the conception and realization of the gold-coated animal skull replica which graces the album’s cover.

He also reveals an alternate design for the record’s cover which the group has recently shared with the public in the form of a limited edition release.

Galea has been working with the group since the first album in 2012.

And, as the band’s ambition grows, so too it seems does his design work.

With speculation rife that the group will drop at least one new record in 2020, there’s little doubt Galea is currently working on more designs yet to come.
