Psych-prog-rock Aussies KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
dropped their 26th album in 14 years, baptized FLIGHT b741.

The Guardian (British newspaper): “A cheerfully rocking album about global collapse… Flight b741 is a striking combination of form and emotion from a band where the former has often been scrutinised by critics at the expense of the latter. Flight b741 charts a bumpy path, but the destination makes it worth it.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: After 25 albums, it sounds as if the prolific Aussies decided to simply rock out
for a change, and they do it with striking 70s-inspired strokes with sultry harmonica-blues echoes here and there. Conventional guitar solos pop up in every track.

Zestful and highly vibrant melodies are embedded in rip-roaring scores going airborne now and then, and peppered with ardent vocality all the way. This KG&TLW opus will
excite my ears for quite a while.

Key tracks: Field Of Vision / Le Risque / Rats In The Sky / Daily Blues
