A new realm awaits
Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is set to drop its 27th studio album Phantom Island tomorrow, June 13. Recorded simultaneously with their 2024 album Flight b741, the musical act said the new release is set to tackle themes similar to the 26th project, but with an orchestral laidback sound, crediting a 2023 moment when they met Los Angeles Philharmonic as inspiration. 'The songs felt like they needed this other energy and colour, that we needed to splash some different paint on the canvas,' frontman Stu Mackenzie said in an interview. 'We didn't know we were going to have an orchestra dubbed on top when we were recording. If we had, that would have really changed the songs, but we went into it very free and easy. 'The songs were written in a very 'improv' way, stitched together from multiple takes or longer jams… It feels like you're in the room with the band and the orchestra, that we're all in the same room together,' he added. The band members also revealed that they plan to perform the new songs live alongside various orchestras during an upcoming tour. Formed in 2010 in Melbourne, the group is known for exploring several genres and performing energetic live shows. The band's current line-up consists of multi instrumentalists Stu, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Lucas Harwood and Michael Cavanagh.
