Jamais à court de lapin à faire sortir de leur gargantuesque chapeau psychédélique, les australiens hyperactifs de King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard confient la fabrication de Polygondwanaland, leur quatrième album de 2017, à qui-le-veut !
Le label belge Exag’ Records propose de le presser en vinyle (et en jaune, pressé à partir de l’acetate, s’il vous plaît), tout en reversant les bénéfices à la Pico’s Cup, un événement sportif pour des enfants avec des troubles moteurs à Bruxelles. Balades Sonores soutient l’initiative et vous propose de pré-commander votre exemplaire (sur lequel nous ne nous ferons pas d’argent non plus) !

Le communiqué d’Exag Records :
“King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard just announced they’re inviting all indie labels to press their 4th studio album of 2017 called ‘Polygondwanaland’. And guess what? we’re answering the call. We’ll do a Belgian edition, only 300 copies. Why are we doing this? not for the money – all benefits will go to funding a sports tournament for handicapped kids in Brussels that a good friend organizes every year : Pico’s Cup – we’re just doing it because we love King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard, it’s a very cool invitation we couldn’t decline, and we’re pretty sure you’ll be glad to have your own copy on color vinyl. ‘Because having fun is for everyone’.”
Et celui du groupe :
“This album is FREE. Free as in, free. Free to download and if you wish, free to make copies. Make tapes, make CD’s, make records. The following files will be available to download at 9am Friday 17 Nov, Melbourne, Australia time at kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com
1. DIGITAL MASTERS & ARTWORK:
This is the best option if you wish to download the album for personal use. Available as high quality MP3 files 320 kbps (≈100 MB) or uncompressed WAV files (≈500 MB). Each version contains hi-res digital artwork of the front cover at 4000 x 4000 resolution.
2. CD MASTERS & ARTWORK:
If you wish to press CDs you will need to download the DDP master and CD Artwork template. The DDP master is the format used for identifying information on optical discs. This master has the tracklist, ISRC codes & metadata embedded. In this .ZIP file you will also find a folder with a CD template, front cover art and extra artwork for back cover, inner tray, spine and booklet that you will need to put together yourself.
3. VINYL MASTERS & ARTWORK:
The vinyl master is a completely seperate master to CD & Digital masters. There are physical limitations to what the head of the lathe can produce when cutting vinyl. For this reason these files will not sound normal on generic Hi Fi speakers. Only use this master if you wanna press vinyl. It will contain a Side A and a Side B WAV file as well as a PQ log for both sides with metadata for the pressing plant. In this .ZIP file you will also find a record cover template and a folder full of artwork ideas you can use to make your own back cover, spine and inner sleeve.
Ever wanted to start your own record label? GO for it! Employ your mates, press wax, pack boxes.
We do not own this record. You do. Go forth, share, enjoy.
P.s. If u wanna make cassettes I don’t really know what you would do. Be creative. We did it once but it sounded really shit. Maybe try the WAVs idano
bye bye“
