Description
Their songs are dense, intricately crafted, and most importantly, powerful King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard dont do predictability. Pitchfork
For their latest opus, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard initially thought it was going to be filled with the darker, heavier material that the band have been playing live of late. However, frontman Stu Mackenzie soon decided that it was time to put aside the longer, more conceptual pieces and go in a completely new direction.
On previous records King Gizzard have channelled many different sounds from heavily distorted, Krautrock-driven rock on their 2014 album Im In Your Mind Fuzz to expansive, almost jazzy, Dead-like head trips on Quarters!.
The bands seventh album was recorded using nothing but acoustic instruments. Mackenzie elaborates: Acoustic guitars, flute, double bass, fiddle, harmonica, drum kit, clarinet. Whatever we could find really.
The result is a lovely, lilting pop masterpiece that still evokes the same intoxicating exuberance as the bands most recent work but with a more pastoral, communal feel to it.
LP format includes digital download code.
