King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard — Fishing for Fishies (26 Apr. 2019) ♦♦      „Snažili jsme se udělat bluesové album,“ řekl Mackenzie z alba v tiskovém prohlášení. „Bblues~boogie~shuffle~kinda~věc, ale písně proti tomu pořád bojovaly — nebo možná jsme s nimi bojovali my. Nakonec jsme nechali ty písničky, aby tentokrát vedly nás; řekli jsme si.. necháme je, ať mají své vlastní charakteristiky a vytvoří si vlastní cestu. Cesty světla, cesty temnoty. Toto je sbírka písní, které probíhaly divokými cestami transformace.“

♦      The prolific psych~rockers previewed the record with the ebullient singalong title~track, a warped nursery rhyme in which multi~instrumentalist Stu Mackenzie sings about feeling disgusted by the act of fishing. “I don’t want to be fishing for fish/I just want to let them freely swim,” he sings over a colorful swirl of fingerpicked electric guitars, honking harmonica and brushed drums.
♦     The Australian septet paired the song with director Jason Galea’s partly animated video, which finds the group floating on a raft against a backdrop that looks like a surreal children’s show. At various points, the group dances, swims into a river and drifts past an alligator playing electronic piano on the shore.
♦     “We tried to make a blues record,” Mackenzie said of the album in a statement. “A blues~boogie~shuffle~kinda~thing, but the songs kept fighting it — or maybe it was us fighting them. Ultimately though we let the songs guide us this time; we let them have their own personalities and forge their own path. Paths of light, paths of darkness. This is a collection of songs that went on wild journeys of transformation.”
