Single Release – Alizarin Lizard

Dunedin/Katikati/Auckland neo-psychedelic rock slackers have released a single, their first release in five years! 

Since their 2013 album Do You Just Want Me To Watch You? Alizarin Lizard have been fairly invisible, only turning up randomly to play boutique festivals and private parties. However, with the appearance of this new single, it seems they have not been completely stagnant.

A bit of info about the track…

Back to Front was written by Paul Cathro, and brought to the band as an almost fully finished song, making the recording part super easy. For the initial session Paul made his debut on drums, with Logan Hampton on keys, and Bugs on bass guitar. The track was then fleshed out with mountains of overdubs by Cathro on vocals and guitars and Hampton layering up the keys and percussion. When asked what the track is about, Cathro replied; “It’s about not really understanding people or social queues.”

Recorded in Katikati at Lettuce Inn headquarters in 2017 by Alizarin Lizard. Mixed by Chris Miller, mastered by Samdrub Dawa. Artwork by Sam Caldwell.
