Smoke & Mirrors
from Made In Timeland by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
lyrics
Smoke and mirrors, Steering clear of ya, watch you tear up interior inferior actions mysterious convoluted satisfaction
To see the suffering of others like your above us your not among us
Its not a concern to see me squirm like a worm in the beak of an eagle, its evil, step back we must progress to our sequel
Smoke and mirrors, disappearing when ya near us uncontactable retractable you must be held accountable for this!
Quit the chit chatter back stabber
Face up to the matter on a silver platter
Ducking and diving you’ve been hiding undermining our capabilities This operation is breaking your flaking its all unfolding at the seams
Another puppet to your strings
Another sucker with a broken wing, smoke and mirrors Another puppet to your strings
Another sucker with a broken wing, smoke and mirrors Another motherfucker trying to live the dream
To see the suffering of others like your above us your not among us
Its not a concern to see me squirm like a worm in the beak of an eagle, its evil, step back we must progress to our sequel
Smoke and mirrors, disappearing when ya near us uncontactable retractable you must be held accountable for this!
Quit the chit chatter back stabber
Face up to the matter on a silver platter
Ducking and diving you’ve been hiding undermining our capabilities This operation is breaking your flaking its all unfolding at the seams
Another puppet to your strings
Another sucker with a broken wing, smoke and mirrors Another puppet to your strings
Another sucker with a broken wing, smoke and mirrors Another motherfucker trying to live the dream

"This surely works as a warning in case you're ever planning on visiting Australia. When you're down under and see a couple of bands hanging around on the sidewalk, better don't come near them without substance consumption beforehand, or you'll be seriously confused!" https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/12/bandcamp-friday-haul-december-2023-feat.html

I too thought the intro to John the Fishermen should’ve been a whole song

Fantastic sounds... nothing ground-breaking but classic grooves, funky keys, bass and guitar. Had to change my favourite track selection 3-4 times!

The hard-hitting, genre-agnostic songs on the latest from Dan Webb were inspired by conversations he had with a wide range of musicians.
go to album -
Neo-psychedelia made from hypnotic loops and delayed guitars for fans of Brian Eno, Tame Impala, and Melody's Echo Chamber.
go to album -
Gorgeous psych pop as big and sprawling as a clear summer sky, with vocal melodies that swoop and dive.
