Following the January release of Cyboogie, a stomping electro-shuffle, Australia’s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced a brand new album, titled Fishing For Fishies out April 26 onATO/Flightless Records. The band are sharing the title track alongside a regulation Jason Galea video.
King Gizzard will embark on a massive North American tour in August, including dates at LA’s Greek Theatre, Central Park SummerStage in NYC and Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. Tickets for all dates are now on-sale and all tour dates are below.
The fourteenth album since their 2012 debut – and their first following the release of five vastly different albums in 2017 – Fishing for Fishies is a blues-infused blast of sonic boogie that struts and shimmies through several moods and terrains. From the soft shuffle Outback country of the opening title track through the sunny easy listening of ‘The Bird Song’ (think the lysergically-soaked Laurel Canyon circa 1973) and on through the party funk of ‘Plastic Boogie’ (which somehow summons the spirit of Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions) the road-trucking, Doors-like highway rock of ‘The Cruel Millennial’ and ‘Real’s Not Real’ – what The Carpenters might have sounded like had they existed entirely on vegemite and weed – it’s a dizzying, dazzling display.
