King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard release new album

Melbourne, Australia’s ‘expansive’ 7-piece, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, have unveiled the mind-bending video to Trap Door, a track taken from their forthcoming seventh album, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, which is out on Friday November 13th 2015 on Heavenly Recordings. Jason Galea, who produces all the band’s incredible artwork and videos, directed the hallucinatory video.

Having previously channeled many different sounds, from heavily distorted, kraut-driven rock on their 2014 album I’m In Your Mind Fuzz to expansive, almost jazzy, Spirit/ Grateful Dead-like head trips on recent mini album Quarters!, the band’s forthcoming album sees them explore a slightly different musical avenue.

Recorded using nothing but acoustic instruments, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon is a charming, 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.

Additionally, having played a mind-blowing sold-out show at London’s Scala in July of this year, the band return to Europe in the new year to play a run of shows.
