King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: Sketches of Brunswick East LP

Originally released in 2017 Sketches of Brunswick East, a collaboration with LA tripster troupe Mild High Club, is a chance to get to know King Gizzard's sunny, playful side. Where previous albums slipped down sonic worm holes to explore distant galaxies, this is an examination of (and homage to) the Melbourne suburb in which King Gizzard write & record. A nod to Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain, the band further explores a Tropicalia element only ever previously hinted at. The group's various sketches about time and place were reworked and pieced together, akin to "sampling-culture, in which old ideas are reshaped and suddenly things make sense," explains lead singer Stu Mackenzie. "It was like we were continually jamming with ourselves." Pressed on colored vinyl.
