King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard releasing orchestral album ‘Phantom Island’ next week (hear the title track)

Last year, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard revealed that at the same time they made Flight b741 they had also made an album with a full orchestra. They’ve now announced that album is titled Phantom Island and will be out next week on Tuesday, April 15 via their own (p)doom label. “A lot of love and time and energy and patience and growth went into this one,” the band wrote on Instagram, sharing the album’s artwork, title and tracklist. “Can’t wait to grow wings and fly with all of you.”

You can get a taste via Phantom Island‘s title track, which they shared last year when revealing their plans. It’s more Love Unlimited Orchestra than Electric Light Orchestra, with lush, funky and just a little greasy arrangements. It’s all still very King Gizzard with lots of flashy performances, heaviosity, and musical left turns across its five-minute runtime. Listen to that, and check out the album art and tracklist, below.

King Gizzard will be bringing the strings, brass and woodwinds with them on their North American Orchestral summer tour, collaborating with local orchestras under the guidance of the tour’s musical director, Sarah Hicks. The tour hits NYC at Forest Hills Stadium on August 1 (w/ Orchestra of St Luke’s) and August 2 (“rock n’ roll” show, no orchestra). All dates are listed below.
