Float Along – Fill Your Lungs is the third studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Originally released in September 2013 via Flightless Records.

The second album released in 2013, Float Along – Fill Your Lungs also sees the band take a new direction from the debut album ’12 Bar Bruise’ and second album ‘Eyes Like The Sky’. While ’12 Bar Bruise’ offers a heavier garage rock feel, Float Along – Fill Your Lungs sees the band move into a more psychedelic feel for the first time.

While 16 minute long opener and fan favourite “Head On/Pill” forms the centerpiece of Float Along – Fill Your Lungs – “30 Past 7” and the title track follow in the same psychedelic vain – there’s enough flavours here to keep everyone amused. Both “I Am Not A Man Unless I Have A Woman” and “Let Me Mend The Past” feature Ambrose at the vocal helm; his sensual wailing steers the band towards groove-based blues, with lashings of heavy-handed production ensuring things stay left of centre. “Pop In My Step” recalls the saccharine sunshine pop of early Beatles, while the chicken-picking twangs of “God Is Calling Me Back Home” reside somewhere in the realms of acid-country.

In 2018 the band announced the reissue of some of their older back catalogue, Float Along – Fill Your Lungs peaked at No. 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart after being reissued on vinyl.

This limited LP record is on yellow coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and poster, reissued in November 2018 and is limited to 5000 copies.
