Sketches of Brunswick East is the eleventh studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and the third by Mild High Club. The title is a reference to the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick East and Miles Davis' 1960 LP Sketches of Spain, which inspired the album's jazz-oriented sound. It was released on 18 August 2017, by Flightless in Australia,[1][2] ATO Records in the United States, and Heavenly Recordings in the United Kingdom. It is the third of five albums released by the band in 2017.[3][4]

The album is a collaboration with Mild High Club member Alex Brettin, and is prominently jazz-based.[3]

It was nominated for Best Jazz Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2017.
