GazHilarant Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Sketches of Brunswick East is the eleventh studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It will be released on 25 August 2017 by Flightless Records in Australia, ATO Records in the United States, and Heavenly Recordings in the United Kingdom. It is the third of five albums set to be released in 2017.The album will be a collaboration with Mild High Club, and will be prominently jazz-based. Currently there is an ongoing ebay Auction for a test pressing (proceeds to go to charity) On Ebay.com.au. Many have predicted that when this auction ends at 18 Aug, 2017 08:00:08 AEST the pre-order will go live on Flightless Records. Who knows.

spoon Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm hoping we at least get an announcement today (Friday in Aus / Auction ending). Very psyched for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltoeagogo Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Very excited to hear what a jazz focused album sounds like from these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm honestly surprised it hasn't leaked yet; their last few have leaked fairly early with respect to the release date. Kinda makes me wonder if the rumor that they leaked their own stuff to generate hype was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 How does leaking your own album in 2017 create hype for a band? Especially one that is established already Most artists are barely surviving. I don't think taking a potential purchase away from a consumer because they"already have it" works for the artist or label. While it might make a few newcomers go out and buy a record, most people are in the digital realm and a leak takes away a purchase. Murder was also the largest pressing for any record that Flightless ever did, band has been hyped with the 5 releases in 2017 since late 2016 and tours the world on a regular basis. A leak would seem to take away from the hype of release, not add to it. Especially in our day and age where most people forget about things a week afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromium Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm surprised this thread only went up today and that there still isn't a pre-order considering it's out next Friday. As I've done for the recent King Gizzard albums, I'll just pick up the indie store variant locally. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobannaboc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 These guys are really gonna get five albums in this year, huh? This one sounds interesting...think it would've been cool if they teamed with BADBADNOTGOOD but Mild High can definitely hold their own.

lethalenforcer Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is going to sell out in just a few minutes, BUT I would imagine a bunch of flippers missed the 1/customer strict policy. So I'd imagine we'll see it have inventory dumped back in several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yup, this is hitting the spot for me right now. I may pick up an ATO variant if one pops up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobannaboc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 WTF! This is one of the craziest preorder days I think I've ever seen. Hopefully they follow up with another variant ASAP. No white would ease the pain a little as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBlue325 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am having a hard time believing a surprise drop of 1000 copies were gone in 20 min. I know their pre-orders usually have multiple variants and they go fast, but not on this level. Something tells me we will see more available as someone mentioned.
