King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Cellophane” (Stereogum Premiere)
Zany Melbourne garage psych collective King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, a self-described band of “completely fried theremin wielding psychopaths,” are a perfect fit for Thee Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer’s label Castle Face. So of course Dwyer’s label will release King Gizzard’s next record, I’m In Your Mind Fuzz, this fall. (Heavenly will release it in the UK and Europe, while Flightless will handle Australian release.) Lead single “Cellophane” is a whimsically spazzy fantastic voyage in miniature. Let it take you for a ride below.
