KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - PAPIER MÂCHÉ DREAM BALLOON

  • King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Paper Mâché Dream Balloon
        (2015, cd, --, flightless / ato / heavenly) – 2015-11-13
        (2015, lp, --, flightless / ato / heavenly)
        (2015, download / streaming, --, --)

"Paper Mâché Dream Balloon".
Both the title and the album cover give the impression that it's a collection of children's songs.
It even sounds like an album of children's songs.
Mostly acoustic, sweet songs.
It's only upon closer listening (and upon checking the lyrics online) that my view changed...

Stuck in a daydream
Under a moonbeam
Head on my pillow at home
Drunk are the people
Outside my window
Full of testosterone

Anyway, upon first listening, "Paper Mâché" is a short and sweet album  :-)
Catchy melodies with not so singalong lyrics.
After a couple of listening sessions, I like it even more.
