In a statement, King Gizzard revealed the song began as a “tune-up/warm-up jam” for their Flight b741 sessions. “We learnt to record these moments; ‘Daily Blues’ came together this way too,” they explained. “‘Hog Calling Contest’ retains a unique unhinged-ness that only comes when you’re fooling around with your mates and you don’t think you’re being recorded. Happy in mud!”

As a bonus, the Australian group has unveiled a 15-minute documentary capturing their creative process for Flight b741 , featuring teasers for tracks like “Field of Vision,” “Raw Feel,” and “Mirage City.” Titled Oink Oink Flight b741: The Making of …, it was directed by Guy Tyzack and shot on 16mm film. Watch it below.

“Hog Calling Contest” is the second preview of the album after “Le Risque.” Flight b741 is out on August 9th via their own p(doom) Records; pre-orders are ongoing.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s supporting North American tour begins in August and will feature three-hour marathon sets in New York, Chicago, and Austin. Pick up your tickets here .
