Words: Sam Geary
Oz rock seven-piece King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared their latest track - 'Boogieman Sam' - to come from their forthcoming album 'Fishing for Fishies', released on April 26 via Flightless Records.
The record, which will be - amazingly - their 14th since their 2012 debut, and their first following the release of five vastly different albums in 2017, is a blues-infused blast of sonic boogie that struts and shimmies through several moods and terrains.
“We tried to make a blues record,” says frontman Stu Mackenzie. “A blues-boogie-shuffle-kinda-thing, but the songs kept fighting it - 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.”
