Eyes Like the Sky is the second studio album by Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 22 February 2013 on the label Flightless.[2]
Described as a "cult western audio book",[2] the album is narrated and written by Broderick Smith, the frontman for the 1970s Australian rock group The Dingoes and the father of King Gizzard keyboardist Ambrose Kenny Smith. The story revolves around child soldiers, native Americans and gun fights, all set in the American frontier.
When asked about the album's influences, Stu Mackenzie alluded to the spaghetti western influence throughout the album, stating "I love Western films. I love bad guys and I love Red Dead Redemption. Oh, and I love evil guitars".[3]
