  • Comment: Sources are brief mentions. Spin is the best one but it still is not in-depth coverage about the label as most of the article is about Ill Times along with King Gizzard and Tame Impala's other activities. S0091 (talk) 17:23, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't think this article is going to have enough sources to stand on it's own, maybe we should make this a section in the King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard page? Scuba 01:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

p(doom) is an Australian independent record label founded by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in 2024. The name is a reference to the artificial intelligence concept of P(doom).

History

[edit]

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's Eric Moore formed Flightless records in 2012 as a label for the band when they struggled to sign with existing labels.[1] However, in 2020 Eric would leave the band to focus on Flightless full time, and in order to prevent a conflict of interest King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard formed their own record label, KGLW, to release their music exclusively.[citation needed]

In 2024, the band created p(doom) and folded KGLW into it in order to release other artists' music in addition to their own.[2][3] The label's initial roster consisted of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and the band members' other projects.

p(doom)'s first record would be King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's 26th studio album, Flight b741 on 9 August 2024.[4][5]

On 8 October 2024, it was announced that fellow Australian rock band Babe Rainbow would be joining p(doom)[6], marking the first addition to the label's roster that does not feature any members of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.

Shortly after, p(doom)'s second album, Pipe-Eye's Pipe-defy, was released on 18 October 2024.[7]
