recent music show
Down
Under Hour office staff use the Australia Concise Oxford Dictionary,
which defines the word "recent" as meaning "something
that happened or began only a short time ago". But time being
relative, the Oxford definition also allows there to be recent
months, which suits us just fine.
Phantom
Island - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard with title track to their
latest album, which came out on June 13, 2025. It reportedly emerged
from the making of their previous album, Flight b741, which was

who has fronted the band Magic Dirt for many years; and session
drummer/producer Marty Brown.
