Anglesea is the debut EP by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 18 March 2011. The EP features the simple lyrical style and noisy arrangements found throughout many of King Gizzard's earliest songs. It was initially released on CD, and was not available digitally until the EPs inclusion on the Teenage Gizzard compilation, a collection of pre-Willoughby's Beach tracks.[1]
Background
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard started off as an informal jam band, playing shows to a small number of people around Melbourne and Geelong playing the few songs they had. During this time, at Stu Mackenzie's parents house, the band borrowed a bunch of microphones and set them up in the garage and recorded the few tracks they had been playing live. Mackenzie has stated that he does not believe the record counts, not being sure whether Cook Craig or Ambrose Kenny-Smith were in the band yet, saying nobody should listen to it.[2]
Title
It is named after Anglesea, the seaside surf village where Mackenzie grew up (also being the town where they lost a battle of the bands to punk rock band Hole in the Shoe).[1][3]
