King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard joins host Stephen Kallao

This summer, King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard released their 26th album, Flight b741, their most collaborative album to date. But before World Cafe could tape our interview with them, the band announced a new album, next year’s Phantom Island. Exploring new sonic territory as usual, it’s their first record written and performed with an orchestra.

Listen to the session here.
