@phewstepsaway oh nice! Didn’t know this got released. Was at the 1st and 3rd night. Heavy rain all through night 3, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen of any band. Starts at track 30. #KGLW #saltshed
@korbermite @Thrillhousegaming Still, even if Butterfly 3000 is your favorite mode of Gizz (not necessarily mine, but still think it doesn’t get enough credit) it’s not like it’s something they did 20 years ago and won’t try again.
The band seems to enjoy revisiting concepts rather than just move past them, so I’m sure we’ll have another Synth based album at some point. #KGLW
@Thrillhousegaming Butterfly 3000 (album with Catching Smoke) doesn’t get nearly enough credit, too many people afraid admit they like the softer side of Gizz. I think it’s one of their best. Welcome! #KGLW
Been into King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard since ‘84 when i painted this logo-art🐊 watercolor #KGLW in elementary school art class:
[#KGLW album thread]
* Laminated Denim (2022) ~ follow-up to Made in Timeland? 2 more songs of exactly 15 minutes with the first "The Land Before Timeland" so like a Star Wars prequel
* Changes (2022) ~ psypop with some funky #electronica and a hint of XTC or Thomas Dolby
* PetroDragonic Apocalypse (2023) ~ tight melodic thrash metal...with bongos (gonna put on "Dawn of Eternal Night" as the world ends)
[🧵7/7]
[+] denotes a big jump in style
[#KGLW album thread]
* Made in Timeland (2022) ~ 2 songs of exactly 15 minutes ~ more time puzzles ~ for those who prefer ambient-trance-world-hip-hop-clock with their flute
* Omnium Gatherum (2022) ~ captures the full range of KGLW genres in one album
* Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava (2022) ~ funkier than anything previous ~ full range of moods notably aligned with the modes of the major scale
[🧵6/7]
[#KGLW album thread]
* K.G. (2020) ~ more contemplative psychedelic muse...are we all just Straws in the Wind?
* L.W. (2021) ~ Eastern influenced pysch rock
* Butterfly 3000 (2021) ~ beginning of KGLW label releases ~ atmospheric synth [+]
* Butterfly 3001 (remix, 2022) ~ sounds like a mixup of Paul Oakenfold and Radiohead doing KGLW songs (I don't think that's a compliment but maybe)
* Satanic Slumber Party (2022) ~ the acid nightmare of Stanley Kubrick
[🧵5/7]
[+] denotes big jump in style
[#KGLW album thread]
* Gumboot Soup (2017) ~ twisted Beatles with flute, with a little bit of the Gorillaz thrown in (The Wheel)
* Fishing for Fishies (2019) ~ indiepop hits (if can call anything by KGLW pop) with a bit of Cheap Trick thrown in (Cruel Millennial, Real's Not Real)
* Infest the Rats' Nest (2019) ~ palette cleanser from pop hits to #SpeedMetal ~ what really upsets KGLW more than anything is #environmental destruction & it shows thru music ~ there is no Planet B people! [+]
[🧵4/7]

[#KGLW album thread]

* Sketches of Brunswick East (2017) ~ collab with Mild High Club ~ back to #psychjazzfolkfunkpop
* Polygondwanaland (2017) ~ spooky #goth nerd D&D psychedelia + #synths + #dinosaurs
[🧵3/7]

[#KGLW album thread]

Would reccomend the Murlocs to fans of Wings era Paul McCartney, Foxygen, The Apples In Stereo. #kglw #NowPlaying #TheBeatles
Slowly coming around to the realization that this KGLW side project release is likely a better “album” than anything King Gizzard has released. Phenomenal songs with great hooks. #kglw
