Screengrab via King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard "Straws In The Wind"
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released a new single and music video, entitled “Straws In The Wind”. The video finds the Australian cross-genre rockers in the midst of a green screen twister.
This latest single follows recently-released tracks “Some Of Us” and “Honey“. “Straws In The Wind” also comes as the first single King Gizzard has put out since drummer/manager Eric Mooreannounced his departure from the group late last month.
The video for “Straws In The Wind”, a song that features Ambrose Kenny-Smith on lead vocals, finds the band employing a green screen to its fullest potential. With footage of tornadoes ripping through landscapes, and the band getting hit with actual debris whirling around the room, Amby ponders the philosophical query, “Straws in the wind/Is it all ending?” While the title may bring to mind the Kansas classic “Dust In The Wind”, it’s clear that King Gizzard took little inspiration from the classic rockers.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Straws In The Wind”
Galvanising uncertainty. Mindful of the weary inkling that is lurking. Hierarchy it’s been cracking aegis. Embodied in this black heart shameless.
Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Like a blunder brewing full to the brim. I can see the beelzebub Cheshire grin.
Cooking something raw. Cooking something big. Pandemonium. Selfish pigs. Headless chickens scared shitless. The media, will never quit.
Allegro fuelled with discontent. Mortal traffic lights signalling when to stay or go. Condescending expendables botched to a clock. Novice to the dilemma with nothing clever left in stock.
Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Like a blunder brewing full to the brim. I can hear hells kitchen and they’re singing hymns.
Cooking something raw. Cooking something big. Pandemonium. Selfish pigs. Headless chickens scared shitless. The media, will never quit.
The affluent with a bad omen hanging. Monstrosity scarce breaking freedom. Shrewd and not in the mood to disillude. We are the pillars of a forgotten pier.
Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Straws in the wind. Is it all ending?…
Is it all, Is it all straws in the wind? Is it all, Is it all straws in the wind?… Straws in the wind. Is it all ending?
Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Like a blunder brewing full to the brim. I can see the beelzebub Cheshire grin.
Straws in the wind. Is it all ending? Straws in the wind. Is it all ending?…
