King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Flight b741

For their 26th album, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard swap the widescreen concepts of their recent albums for the intimacy of six good friends collaborating on the most bonhomie-laden set they've yet committed to wax. For 'Flight b741', bandleader Stu Mackenzie says King Gizzard 'wanted to make something that was primal, instinctual, more 'from the gut'. Tapping into the country-fried '70s American rock on which they were all raised - along with the ornery garage-rock roots from which their mighty discography sprang - 'Flight b741' is lightning caught inside a bottle. Across its 10 ragged, glorious barnburners, King Gizzard flesh out rough skeletons of songs with their inspired improvisations, inimitable grooves and a unique pass-the-mic approach to vocals that saw every member of the band raise their voice and sing.
