King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared a new single and accompanying video of a DJ Shadow collab off their forthcoming Butterfly 3001 album.

While “Black Hot Soup” is a tripped-out synth-pop track on Butterfly 3000, in DJ Shadow’s hands—and on his famous decks—the song becomes a hip-hop banger primed for the dancefloor.

In tandem with the single’s release, the band recruited director John Angus Stewart for a cinematic video with an aesthetic that falls somewhere between Guy Ritchie’s Snatch and Spike Jonze’s Fatboy Slim “Weapon of Choice” video with Christopher Walken.

Noted video director John Angus Stewart explained in a press release, “‘Black Hot Soup’ is an almost perfect way to describe the world as we know it in the present. A bubbling, thick, sticky, confusing angry place that seems to be made for generations long past. Therefore I wanted to portray a character somehow revelling in the chaos, dancing on the ashes of society. There is an inherent freedom watching someone hitting bottom so hard with a smile. To me it’s a non cynical representation of expression through music! As DJ Shadow fully reworked ‘Black Hot Soup’ I cast John Safran to fully re-work the song again within a performance. Calling it a dance is a stretch, I’d call it more of a full body dry heave.”

“We’ve put off doing a remix album for a long time,” King Gizzard’s Joey Walker stated. “Maybe it was conscious, maybe it wasn’t. But it’s happening now. That’s not to say that Butterfly 3000 makes the most sense to remix. It might seem like the obvious one, but it’s not. Yes it’s electronic. But so is a fridge. Have you tried to dance to Butterfly? It’s hard. It ties your shoelaces together. It’s duplicitous in its simplicity. But Butterfly 3001 expands on this. It also deviates and obliterates. We’re honored to have such esteemed people go to work on these songs. We hope you love this album as much as we do. See you in DA CLUB!!!”
