King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s New Orchestral Album ‘Phantom Island’ Is Really Cool: Stream

I can think of absolutely no comparison point for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. They are a one of one. The Australian psych-rockers crank out an unholy amount of music, and they freely switch genres and moods from album to album.

Their undiminished creative flow is really something to witness, especially as it leads them to a freaky-ass experiment like their new orchestral album Phantom Island.
