King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard -

[bodysnatcher]

New single out

I haven’t listened yet but intrigued. Seems like they usually preface their releases with some sonic goal in mind, but all I read so far is there’s an album coming and that’s it.

One article I read mentioned it being more blues rock influenced

For their 26th album, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard swap the widescreen concepts of their recent albums for the intimacy of six good friends collaborating on the most bonhomie-laden set they’ve yet committed to wax. For Flight b741, bandleader Stu Mackenzie says King Gizzard “wanted to make something that was primal, instinctual, more ‘from the gut’ – just people in a room, doing what feels right. We wanted to make something fun.”

Tapping into the country-fried 70s American rock on which they were all raised – along with the ornery garage-rock roots from which their mighty discography sprang – Flight b741 is lightning caught inside a bottle. Across its 10 ragged, glorious barnburners, King Gizzard flesh out rough skeletons of songs with their inspired improvisations, inimitable grooves and a unique pass-the-mic approach to vocals that saw every member of the band raise their voice and sing. “We’re having a lot of fun, but we’re often singing about some pretty heavy shit,” Mackenzie adds, “and probably hitting on some deeper, more universal themes than usual. It’s not a sci-fi record, it’s about life and stuff. But the record is like a really fun weekend with your mates, you know? Like, proper fun.”

I got through half of it driving around town today. So far it’s really good, but of course they would take on a new subgenre and master it immediately

Finished this - so good. Astonishing band.

I like this side of the band quite a bit. More boogie, please.

Previewed a few tracks last night before falling asleep, I couldn’t wait to get out of bed to play this whole thing. The closer is a monster. Holy shit.

[Kalevi]

Listening to the new one now. Earlier I listened to the dripping tap, that song is not too shabby

[zeb]

The closer is a monster. Holy shit.

Field of Vision might be my song of the year. I play this album everyday.

[Teeeeeekay]

Fuck, I suck at links on this aight.

Have you been catching their tour via livestream, mate?

Have you been catching their tour via livestream, mate?

Funny you ask, I wasn’t until a workmate texted me a link for the Chicago stream one night. He was at the show asking if I was there by chance. I tuned in and couldn’t look away. They were incredible to watch. I watched part of another one a few nights ago, these guys really can’t be fucked with.

What a fantastic idea to stream the tour like that. Have you had the pleasure of catching them live? As I get older I go to less and less live shows. I had to really coax myself to get to Pearl Jam 2 weeks ago.

Yeah I've seen them five or six times, having benefited from a four night residency they did in my city a few years back.

It does take more effort to get out to shows these days but I don't want to regret missing a band that might not come back again.

I have heard a few songs from them and don't follow them much, but I applaud their use of YouTube to livestream the concerts. I think they were at red rocks last night and I caught a bit of it.

I know that feeling to well man. Instant regret when i see a setlist/video/photo from a certain show.

I think a residency would be the best way to see these dudes.

This is a great band. Excited about seeing them this year. I wish they would put their spectacular 10 plus min songs at the end of their albums instead of first.

I love Dripping Tap but if I reach for OG I typically start at track two.
