King Gizzard announce 'Fishing for Fishies,' share title track

March 12, 2019

If you dug King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard‘s recent single “Cyboogie” you’ll be happy to learn their just-announced new album, Fishing for Fishies, has more where that came from with tracks titled “Boogieman Sam” and “Plastic Boogie.” The album’s out April 26 via ATO/Flightless. “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.” Among the non boogie-based material on Fishing for Fishies is the album’s quite lovely, gently rolicking title track. You can watch the video for that below.

King Gizzard will be on tour starting in August, including a NYC show at SummerStage in Central Park on 8/28 (tickets). Updated tour dates are listed, along with album artwork and tracklist, below.
