In 'Phantom Island', their 27th studio album, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard experiment extensively by incorporating orchestral elements into their psychedelic rock framework. Initially lacking orchestration, the band was inspired to add these elements after collaborating with members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The album exemplifies a mix of various styles, presenting listeners with both beautiful moments and frustrating tensions. The combinations of instruments evoke a wide range of influences, from cinematic soundscapes to folk and rock, thereby enriching their already diverse discography.
Phantom Island showcases the Australian sextet's ongoing experimentation, juxtaposing traditional orchestral sounds with their psychedelic rock roots, leading to a diverse and sometimes conflicting musical experience.
This 27th studio album embraces a blend of genres, including orchestral components, creating a rich sound that occasionally frustrates but mostly intrigues listeners with its unique tension.
