From Float Along – Fill Your Lungs (2013). Float Along – Fill Your Lungs is the third studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 27 September 2013 by Flightless Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's other songs from Float Along – Fill Your Lungs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
