Phantom Island

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

A lush, symphonic pivot featuring full orchestral arrangements and cinematic scope. Grandiose psychedelic rock that feels like a voyage across a mythical sea.

It's like Gizzard went to the symphony and decided to stay for a whole nautical voyage.

A majestic and cinematic voyage that balances psychedelic wonder with symphonic grandeur.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden swell of a 10-piece string section that overtakes the guitar riff at the midpoint of the title track.
The transition into the final track where the frantic woodwinds resolve into a massive, choral-backed crescendo.
A lonely, dry flute solo that echoes through a cavernous reverb during the bridge of Lonely Cosmos.
