King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce Highly-Anticipated Orchestral Album ‘Phantom Island’

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will release their highly-anticipated orchestral album, Phantom Island on June 13 via the band’s p(doom) records. King Gizz also announced a music video for the track “Deadstick” will arrive on April 15.

King Gizz shared the first taste of Phantom Island by releasing the title track in October 2024. Listen below:

Phantom Island, the band’s 27th studio album, follows their August 2024 LP, Flight b741. Phantom Island was recorded in the same sessions as Flight b741 but in true King Gizz fashion the band added a twist by lacing the songs with orchestral arrangements.

“HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!! A lot of love and time and energy and patience and growth went into this one,” guitarist Stu Mackenzie wrote in a social media post. “Can’t wait to grow wings and fly with all of you. Love Stu xoxox.”

Check out the Phantom Island artwork, by longtime KGLW visual collaborator Jason Galea, along with other album details in the Instagram post below:

While the band has been keeping Phantom Island songs in the studio for now, they have been working out the album’s closing track, “Grow Wings And Fly,” in live settings, shaping the song which grew out of an improvisation from the Butterfly 3000 cut, “Shanghai.” Fans will likely get a good dose of Phantom Island songs on the band’s upcoming orchestral tour.
