King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will release a new LP, Fishing for Fishies<\/em>, on April 26th via ATO\/Flightless Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

The prolific psych-rockers previewed the record with the ebullient singalong title-track, a warped nursery rhyme in which multi-instrumentalist Stu Mackenzie sings about feeling disgusted by the act of fishing. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be fishing for fish\/I just want to let them freely swim,\u201d he sings over a colorful swirl of fingerpicked electric guitars, honking harmonica and brushed drums.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian septet paired the song with director Jason Galea\u2019s partly animated video, which finds the group floating on a raft against a backdrop that looks like a surreal children\u2019s show. At various points, the group dances, swims into a river and drifts past an alligator playing electronic piano on the shore.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to make a blues record,\u201d Mackenzie said of the album in a statement. \u201cA blues-boogie-shuffle-kinda-thing, but the songs kept fighting it<\/span> \u2014<\/span> or maybe it was us fighting them. Ultimately though we let the songs guide us this time; we let them have their own personalities and forge their own path. Paths of light, paths of darkness. This is a collection of songs that went on wild journeys of transformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishing for Fishies<\/em> also includes the recently issued \u201cCyboogie,\u201d the first track they released since firing out five full LPs in 2017<\/a>. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will promote the album with a North American tour<\/a> that launches August 13th in Los Angeles, California.<\/span><\/p>\n
