King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce New LP ‘Paper Mâché Dream Balloon’

Starting out in 2010 as a solid garage rock group, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard followed their collective muse wherever it chose to lead them. For their latest opus, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, they initially thought it was going to be filled with the darker, heavier material that the band has been playing live of late. But front man Stu Mackenzie soon decided that it was time to put aside the longer, more conceptual pieces and go in a completely new direction.

The Paper Mâché Dream Balloon title track was released and is available below….

The band’s seventh album was recorded using nothing but acoustic instruments. Mackenzie elaborated on this with: “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 KGATLW’s most recent work, but with a more pastoral, communal feel to it.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard has also revealed a new run of US tour dates including FYF Fest, Hopscotch and a headlining date at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg; all of them can be found below.
