You can’t really pre-determine the vibe but the things we surround ourselves with and the music that we listen to that inspires us, that determines the vibe that you’re picking up. I guess it’s not like we try for a vibe it’s just what comes out you.

Is that the kind of vibe you’re trying to give? Listening to your album a sense of 60s nostalgia entered my mind, which you probably get a lot. I don’t know, I guess all the songs have different context, like I really like listening to music in the car, on a nice drive you know, but I couldn’t honestly say or picture how people would listen to us. In the evening with some wine or in the sunshine in the fields. In the nice lit carpeted living room with all your beautiful things surrounding you. That’s a nice question and that’s a nice setting.

I actually played my housemate your album last night and she loved it, she drew this big picture of the sun and couldn’t stop dancing and smiling, how do you usually envision someone listening to your music? I’m good, I’m just pouring a coffee, preparing a drink while I chat with you. The perfect listen for an evening with some wine or a cruise and some sunshine as Jack “Cool-Breeze” Crowther sits down with a coffee to chat to OLIVIA SENIOR all about recent activities and what to expect from the record, out on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s label Flightless. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s new single Ice V is out now via their KGLW label.You may know them for their popular Secret Enchanted Broccoli Forest track a few years back and if you haven’t already heard Peace Blossom Boogy on triple j, it’s one of the songs recently released on new album The Babe Rainbow, a 60s, hippy-inspired, surf-influenced, psychedelic groove. Joined by a music video of bassist / guitarist / farfisaist Joey living his best life on an island (identified as Ydra Island, Greece in the YouTube comments) it's a sensationally fun accompaniment to a magnificently exuberant track.Ĭurrently on their North American Takeover playing three shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater - 2 of which are already sold out, and at New York’s Forest Hill Stadium, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will be unleashing Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava October 7th, followed by Laminated Denim the following week on October 12th, and finally Changes on October 28th.īut for now, be sure to hit play on Ice V and it’s delightful video below below. Ice V comes from the album Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava (the first of the three coming out this October), and is a funk infused, 10-minute long number filled to the brim with choirs of harmonious chants, layers of melodic guitar leads, warm synths, and infectiously feel-good percussion. What’s particularly exciting/ shocking about this release is that it comes with the news of not one, but THREE LP’s on the way, due one after another throughout next month. Australia’s prolific polymaths King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are undoubtedly a fan favourite, living up to their epic name with constantly epic releases - the latest a single with accompanying video titled Ice V.
