King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Phantom Island

Phantom Island is the twenty-seventh studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 13 June 2025, through p(doom) Records. Recorded concurrently with their prior album, Flight b741 (2024), Phantom Island continues on the same themes, with a more orchestral sound. During a break between legs of their World Tour 2024 on 29 October 2024, KGLW would release a single titled "Phantom Island" as part of a then-unnamed 27th album which they would be performing live alongside various orchestras during an upcoming tour in 2025. Stu Mackenzie and Ambrose Kenny-Smith explained that the album was developed alongside Flight b741 but that Flight b741 contained the more "rowdy" songs while the new album will be "more laidback." Stu Mackenzie stated that they were inspired to do an orchestral album after performing at the Hollywood Bowl in 2023 on the band's U.S. Residency Tour where they met with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra backstage.
