King Gizzard Drummer CAVS Sets April Release for Sojourn, Debuts 'Candiru'

The all‑instrumental set marks his first turn as bandleader, evolving from sample‑based sketches to a live Melbourne ensemble.

Overview

  • Sojourn arrives April 24 via p(doom) records, with pre‑orders now available.
  • 'Candiru' is out as the lead single alongside a Hayden Somerville–directed video.
  • Co‑producer Jim Rindfleish of Mildlife describes the album as a groove‑focused concept best heard in one continuous sitting.
