A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.
Prepare yourself for the latest from prolific Australian psych weirdos King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Described as “psych-soul-surf-fuzz-garage-space rock-jazz-DIY-shamans” by The Guardian, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have garnered a massive underground following through years of raucous shows around the world. Paper Mâche Dream Balloon is their first record to be released on ATO Records and their first truly proper album release in the US. King Gizzard has perfectly set the stage for themselves to take over the hugely popular and ever growing psych-rock scene moving forward.
"After Mind Fuzz and Quarters I was starting to get over concept records. I wanted to make an album with a collection of short unrelated songs. I wanted to steer away from electric guitar music, which I feel like we’d explored pretty heavily on the last couple. So Paper Mache Dream Balloon, the concept-less concept album, got a concept.
No electric instruments, just acoustic guitars, flute, double bass, fiddle, harmonica, drum kit, clarinet. Whatever we could find really. We recorded it mostly in an empty shipping container on my parent’s farm in country Victoria. It was all horses, emus, and tim tams.” - Stu Mackenzie of KGATLW
