The album was announced on 8 March 2022, and the band released the eighteen-minute song "The Dripping Tap"—their longest studio recording to date and the first song since 2019's Fishing for Fishies featuring performances from all six current members—on the same day. In the announcement, bandleader Stu Mackenzie hinted that Omnium Gatherum will be the band's longest studio album so far and represents "a turning point" in their career as it's "going to change the way we write and record music — at least for a while", adding that the band is "entering into our ‘jammy period'".
The album's second single, "Magenta Mountain", was released on 29 March, and was accompanied with a video for a live version of the song, recorded on 5 March at the Return Of The Curse Of Timeland show.
