"Greenhouse Heat Death" is a single released by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Released on December 19, 2017, the single would later be the second track in the album Gumboot Soup.
A microtonal track with early synth work, Greenhouse Heat Death is a reference to the heat death of the universe, using food as metaphors for the greenhouse effect.[1] A wholly electronic demo of the song was released on Demos Vol. 3: Music To Eat Pond Scum To alongside different lyrics and tempo.[1] A second demo was released as a bonus for Nonagon Infinity that was likely recorded in 2016 during the sessions for Flying Microtonal Banana.[1]
Recording
The studio version was recorded at Rada Studios with additional work done at Flightless HQ and was first played live at Whammy Bar in Auckland in December 6th, 2017.[1] Triple R radio began playing the song on December 19th, with the band officially releasing it as a single on December 20th alongside The Last Oasis.[2][1][3][4]
