Recorded in secret during a 2016 trip to Colombia, Polygondwanaland pushed the band further into complex, polyrhythmic territory, with a distinctly non-Western feel.

• The album was famously released under a Creative Commons license, with the band encouraging fans to rip, remix, and share it themselves.
• Multiple independent labels worldwide released their own physical versions of the album, often with unique artwork, fulfilling the band's wish for a decentralized release.
• The album's intricate, winding song structures and thematic elements have led fans to connect it to a complex, ongoing narrative universe the band has developed across their discography.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are a prolific Australian psychedelic rock band formed in 2010. At the time of Polygondwanaland's release, they were in the midst of a prolific output, having released three albums already that year.
