KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD with MILD HIGH CLUB - Sketches Of Brunswick East (Reissue) - LP - Black Bio Vinyl [OCT 31]

LP - Limited Edition Black Bio Vinyl (2025 Reissue). 

Heavenly Recordings are proud to announce vinyl reissues of classic albums by the mighty King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

Each of these albums has been pressed on black bio-vinyl wax, an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional vinyl wax. The sleeves for each album are paper casing, using no glue or plastics, making them fully recyclable - should you one day decide to part with it. More King Gizzard vinyl reissues will follow in the coming months.

These classic Heavenly Recordings vinyl have been repressed ahead of the band embarking on their Rave / Orchestra run of UK shows this Autumn, including a special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall with The Covent Garden Sinfonia.

This year King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard released their 27th album.

In 2022 King Gizzard won the inaugural Wilderness Environment Music Prize.

Sketches Of Brunswick East:

So judge me by the page
But not by my cover
You’ll learn more with age
Like it or not, I live by the book

The first real stab at Jazz, its title is an homage to Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain. However, rather than channel Davis or any kind of more familiar fusion, the only ‘real’ jazz influence in the music actually comes with tinges of funk from Ethiopia.

A collaborative album with Hypnagogic-psych-pop act Mild High Club, who played the 2016 iteration of the band’s now defunct showcase festival, Gizzfest. Alex Brettin (of MHC) stuck around for a couple of weeks, and naturally some voice memo ‘sketches’ of songs materialised. With the sketches later completed by the band, the album retains the laid-back stoner fingerprints of MHC, tied together by the KGATLW signature ‘took too much’ weirdness.
