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 (four years 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

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.

Ooh, I'm liking K.G. so far. A return to the microtonal shit.

Very fun yes, and some enjoyable curveballs as well

K.G. is indeed really good.

The Live In SF LP is great as well

First half is all Nonagon all the time, and it ends with a fantastic Head On-Pill that also goes Nonagon when yr least expecting it

What's KG? I loved microtonal banana but never really got this band beyond that.
― Duke, Monday, 7 December 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
It's the name of their latest album
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Tuesday, 8 December 2020 00:29 (three years ago) link
it has like a dance track which feels ~weird~, but what, am i gonna tell THIS band how to genre?
― pence's eye juice (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 8 December 2020 02:47 (three years 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.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 8 December 2020 04:20 (three years ago) link
KG is very Microtonal, it's great

LW out Friday, lol
― stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Thursday, 18 February 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
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
― na (NA), Thursday, 18 February 2021 14:23 (three years ago) link
they're still great, love both kg & lw - strong albums both!
― Ray Cooney as "Crotch" (stevie), Thursday, 18 February 2021 15:45 (three years ago) link
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 (three years 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 (three years 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.

I really loved these guys for a minute and then a bunch of stuff happened in my life and I kind of lost track, probably missed 9 albums
― Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 18 June 2021 09:47 (two years ago) link
I always enjoy them when they're playing, but I can't really be doing with the sheer amount of listening it must take to be a true fan.
― chap, Friday, 18 June 2021 10:20 (two years ago) link
Alice bought one of their albums on RSD
I forget which one: I'd look through their discogs list, but I really don't have that kind of spare time...
― Mark G, Friday, 18 June 2021 15:25 (two years ago) link
Forthcoming album Butterfly 3000 is very fun, a new age synth pop record
― burnt hombre (stevie), Saturday, 19 June 2021 15:46 (two years ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDMldn7hFZo pretty cool 18 min jam
― ufo, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 13:43 (two years ago) link
is fake vinyl lead-in groove noise the sonic equivalent of fake ring wear on the album cover art?
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 19:39 (two years ago) link
Saw them live doing a garage rock set recently. Up there as one of my funnest gig experiences and the first time I realised crowd surfing can actually be not terrible (obviously only to a degree, don't crucify me). I drunkenly also started a movement which resulted in 50% of all males at the front taking their shirts off and it was all around an absolutely great time.
All that said, don't have time for their albums. They really are best as a live band

That’s a shame. I love Butterfly 3000
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 16 March 2022 02:22 (two years ago) link
Listened to Mind Fuzz and Butterly 3000 after avoiding them for years due to the name. Goddamit, I'm kind of hooked. The disco-y stuff reminds me of later Tame Impala, but better?

Of their recent ones, I really enjoyed KG, LW, and Infest The Rats' Nest

I will check those out. They have a million albums!

Rat's Nest is just a fantastic thrash album. The forthcoming LP is brilliant as well, a good place for the neophyte to begin as it draws on lots of different styles, etc, rather than pursuing a single concept.
― politics is about vibes and the vibes are off (stevie), Tuesday, 22 March 2022 09:30 (two years ago) link
I got in pretty early, despite the stupid name, with I'm in Your Mind Fuzz. It was a decent garage rock record, but it was hearing the range reflected on Quarters (four 10 minute 10 second psych rock jams) and Paper Mache Dream Balloon (all acoustic instruments, flutes, etc) that convinced me to pay attention. Not every album is great, but they've had far more hits than misses.

I always liked their name. A lizard wizard and a king of digestion, the latter now sounds as fantastic to me as the former
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 22 March 2022 19:17 (two years ago) link
I had a garage-brew milkshake stout named after them, long before I checked out their music and it was amazing the end.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 22 March 2022 21:37 (two years ago) link
As much as I love Infest The Rats' Nest, I think it would have been improved if the lyrics were unintelligible.
― enochroot, Wednesday, 23 March 2022 20:43 (two years ago) link
Ha the lyrics having an intelligible uh, spirit (?) makes me like it more somehow. A pal was at their usa debut at austin psychfest back when, came away awed (and shared head on to me) and i guess the show recording has been released. I should get that🤔.

wow. didn't realize they had another one out today. so difficult to keep up with this band but I dig a lot of it

I wish they would make another garage rock influenced record
― nostormo, Saturday, 29 October 2022 12:56 (one year ago) link
...Dripping Tap is one of their best tracks.
(and Ice, Death etc.. is top 5 KG imo)
― nostormo, Saturday, 29 October 2022 13:01 (one year ago) link
Dropping Tap remains astonishing - like a rollercoaster fashioned from prog and krautrock. 17 minutes pass in what feels like seconds.
― bible fumes (stevie), Saturday, 29 October 2022 17:20 (one year ago) link
Does this singer have some tourette's tic where every time the chords come to the turnaround, he can't help but let out a falsetto "woooooooh!"? Is there some dude in the band whose only job is to go woooooooh!"?Listening to "Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava" this afternoon, I'm really struggling to get past this. It was fun the first time, but come on.

It's his signature move, kind of like Ryu saying "Hadouken"
