12 Bar Bruise is the debut studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 7 September 2012 on Flightless. It peaked at No. 14 on the ARIA Albums Chart after being released on vinyl in November 2018.
The album was self-recorded by the band, and several tracks used unconventional recording methods. One of these is featured on the album's title track – it was recorded through four iPhones placed around a room while Stu Mackenzie sang into one of them.
