The prolific Australian group lavishes its gently trippy compositions with orchestral arrangements. The results are often frustrating and overstuffed, but include occasional sparks of magic.
A joyous ten-track delight.
On Phantom Island, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard keep it fresh with an orchestral twist on their usual psych-rock formula.
