KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - FISHING FOR FISHES LP

Sit back and strap yourself in as seven-headed Aussie rock beast KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD return with Fishing for Fishies, perhaps their most perfectly-realized album to date. 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. King Gizzard are no longer a band, they are a cult, a youth movement, an exploration, a double-drumming trip, a cottage industry centered around their own Flightless Records. Perhaps most importantly they provide transportive fun, a valuable and often-overlooked commodity in an increasingly fraught world. As Pitchfork noted, they have waged war against two tired clichés: “One, that rock is dead; and two, that the album is dead.” More than that, King Gizzard have staked their claim as one of the most innovative, exciting and productive bands of the 21st century.
