It might be good. I don't regret looking at this thread.

Paper Mache Dream Balloon sounds like 90s Of Montreal, and I love it. Don't understand the drastic change in sound. They want to sound tougher I guess.

New one is maybe my 2nd favorite album of the year after Black Star.

yes. nonagon infinity just doubles down on the fidgety, high-energy, garage punk that's their primary through-line so far. one of my 2016 favorites, and i'm surprised it hasn't caught on with fans of tongue-in-cheek prog oddity.
― oculus lump (contenderizer), Tuesday, 12 July 2016 17:23 (four years ago) link
yeah this is great. never listened to any of their other albums
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 25 July 2016 15:15 (four years ago) link
finally listening to this, great! they really got psychedelic ants in their pants
― Steve Gunn Mann-Dude (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 25 July 2016 18:24 (four years ago) link
based on this i feel like they'd be really fun live
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 25 July 2016 18:44 (four years ago) link

global have you heard General Baby (local band), has a bit of this vibe but more lo-fi zappa
(it's from that whole larry wish & his guys house show axis that i don't really fully understand)

Ilx doesn't love the gizzards and that's a fact.the last album is very good though.
― nostormo, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:28 (three years ago) link
most recent one (polygondwanaland) is super-proggy and totally rules. these aussie freaks own 2017 imho
― reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:39 (three years ago) link
this is one of the best bands going rn
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:42 (three years ago) link
I like them
― sleeve, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:44 (three years ago) link
especially their microtonal/weird tuning stuff, a lot of stuff on that Banana record sounds great.
not so keen on the new one with narration, it seems extraneous
Yeah i meant polygondwa above as their best record of the year. I wish they werent as repetitive melody wise though. Like back in the Fill Your Lungs days..
― nostormo, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 17:46 (three years ago) link
they seem like they're excellent live too- the main guy definitely borrows some john dwyer moves tho

― calstars, Saturday, 30 December 2017 20:06 (three years ago) link
bit of a psychedelic soul vibe. mellower stuff, a la paper mache dream balloon and sketches of brunswick east
― reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 30 December 2017 20:16 (three years ago) link
Sounds like mediocre b-sides for all previous 4, except for one surprising and great doom metal/Uncle Acid style song (Great Chain Of Being)
― nostormo, Saturday, 30 December 2017 22:40 (three years ago) link
"muddy water" sounds like a victory lap

"barefoot desert" is dope. 1 year, 64 songs. damn!

ok i listened to the latest i was erm not expecting straight 86 speed metally thrash. Its not terrible i guess.
It made me think of HNIA’s different smart-ass visitation to metalfrom 2016, which was like, sunshine prog-metal(?). HNIA’s album was actually much more interesting imo.

― Tokyo Ghetto Stüssy (King Boy Pato), Friday, 23 August 2019 23:54 (one year ago) link
because i'm slightly interested in what they're on about, repeated listens haven't been bad, also the guit style is more thrash than beedleybeedleybeedlebeedely. i guess ecoconscious thrash shit is closer fit for olds who are more garage or postpunk maybe. 'i have gone insane-o i lust for volcano pee with molten lava give me my nirvana' and 'auto-cremate! self-immolate!'
― Hunt3r, Saturday, 24 August 2019 13:28 (one year ago) link
Taking my son to see them in a few weeks, he's a big fan. Trying to get caught up on their endless catalog. They seem like great musicians, very creative and intense, but the sheer repetition of their approach wears me down.
Which ones should I listen to if I want to hear them mix it up more? So far I've liked Flying Microtonal Banana the most, but I've barely scratched the surface.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 26 August 2019 13:52 (one year ago) link
nonagon infinity is the most accessible to early olds imo, it's relentless and stirring.
i love the first one that was my intro, which is very psych- can't remember the name, it has Head On/Pill?
I'm in Your Mindfuzz is pretty strong imo.
I was meh on Fishing For Fishies which is working that sound conceit so hard, or maybe not the sound I wanted. The recent is really fun, but it's way chewing gummy to me. Still the more I listen, there more I am charmed by it.
I can't remember Polygondwanaland, so...
― Hunt3r, Monday, 26 August 2019 20:57 (one year ago) link
I was half-hoping the new one would be even more thrashy, which is kind of a funny thing — they're constantly churning out so many records in so many different veins that you wind up with a fairly loose attachment to any of them sounding particularly Gizzardy. Or maybe it's just the nature of thrash that once you blend a little of it into what you're doing, it starts feeling like you might as well thrash all the way; it's kind of an extremist genre!
At some point they should release a detailed guide to their working methods, like a productivity self-help book for rock musicians. At this point I'm just curious how they divide up their time.

Minimize chord progressions, tempo changes, syncopation, and vocal melodies seems to be part of it, at least for the straightforward rock LPs.

Infest The Rats' Nest is kind of a wild record. I think I like them in metal mode more than some. This pretty much sounds like old school Metallica meets Sleep.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 1 September 2019 04:55 (one year ago) link
one of the better metal albums of 2019 so far imo
you could say "it's just kind of a gloss of common metal ideas" to which i would say so is like 80% of metal nowadays
― With an Extreme Burning (aka The Tormentor) (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 5 September 2019 10:13 (one year ago) link
I saw them play in Austin last night, pretty good show. Huge, extremely hyped up crowd. The new songs went over really well, but there was a little too much time spent on the slow jazzy numbers, letting all the band members sing songs, and some endless boogie beats. Needed a bit more of the fast-paced material.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 5 September 2019 11:17 (one year ago) link
Ooh, I'm liking K.G. so far. A return to the microtonal shit.

― pence's eye juice (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 8 December 2020 02:47 (two months ago) link
Yeah, “Intrasport”, the weird disco track stands out a little, but it segues so nicely into the next song that I can’t hate it.

i was into this band for a bit but haven't kept up with them at all, and now i see them being used on social media (even tiktok) as shorthand for annoying arcane prog rock dorks in the same way as tool, so i guess they've hit the big time

with the massive volume of albums they've put out, there are absolutely some duds, but there are so many good ones as well. If LW continues with the direction of KG, them I'm totally down.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:37 (one week ago) link
Not a massive expert on them but they always strike me as great fun - certainly moreso than Tool!
― chap, Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:56 (one week ago) link
Yeah, there's nothing po-faced abt Gizz, they do not take themselves seriously like that at all.
LW is literally the other half of KG, more excursions on the seas of microtonality. TBH i prefer KGLW to the Flying Microtonal Banana LP that started it all off.
