King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard ‘Grow Wings And Fly’ With New Orchestral Single

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard unveiled a new single, “Grow Wings And Fly,” from the band’s forthcoming album, Phantom Island. The Australian rock band will issue their 27th studio album via their p(doom) records on June 13.

KGLW recorded what became Phantom Island during sessions for their previous album, 2024’s Flight b741. The band met members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic backstage at KGLW’s 2023 Hollywood Bowl concert, which led them to give the songs on Phantom Island additional work.

“The songs felt like they needed this other energy and color, that we needed to splash some different paint on the canvas,” said King Gizz frontman Stu Mackenzie, who reached out to British historical keyboardist, conductor and arranger Chad Kelly.

“[Kelly] brings this wealth of musical awareness to his chameleon-like arrangements,” Mackenzie stated. “We come from such different worlds – he plays Mozart and Bach and uses the same harpsichords they did, and tunes them the exact same way. But he’s obsessed with microtonal music, too, and all this nerdy stuff like me.”

King Gizz shared the Phantom Island title track in October 2024. A second single, “Deadstick,” arrived last month.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard previously announced the 2025 Phantom Island Orchestral Tour in support of the pending album. KGLW we be backed by different 29-piece orchestras in each city, conducted by music director Sarah Hicks.
