Nonagon Infinity Album Cover (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, 2016)
The album cover for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Nonagon Infinity stands as a psychedelic visual manifesto for the band’s concept-driven music. Created by frequent collaborator Jason Galea, the design centers around a nonagon—nine-sided and endlessly looping, much like the album itself. Hypnotic lines and intricate, hand-drawn patterns spiral outward, forming a fractal-like structure that both draws the viewer in and suggests infinite motion.
Bold reds, deep blacks, and stark whites dominate the palette, creating a sense of urgency and kinetic energy. The artwork is populated with cryptic symbols, mysterious creatures, and occult references, mirroring the band’s fascination with the surreal and the otherworldly. Every detail in the cover art feels intentional, reflecting the relentless, cyclical energy of the music contained within. Nonagon Infinity’s cover is not just an image; it’s an invitation into the band’s boundless, ever-repeating sonic universe.
