Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, the seventh studio album from Melbourne's King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, arrived on 13 November 2015, through Flightless at home, ATO in the States and Heavenly in Europe. For a band that made its name blasting out surf, garage rock and fuzzed-out psychedelia, it's a hard left turn: the amps stay off, and almost everything is played on acoustic instruments.
What comes out is folk-flavored, sun-dappled and gently woozy, with Stu Mackenzie's flute fluttering through songs that sound like they were cut on a back porch at the end of a long afternoon. Like the jazz fusion of Quarters!, it showed a band that got bored standing in one place, and the calm didn't last: Nonagon Infinity, in 2016, cranked everything back up and won them the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album.
