WHO: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
WHAT: KG / LW
WHY: I don’t know if these are meant to be consumed as separate albums, but considering how productive King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard is, I’m pretty sure this is one album. KG / LW is the best release this band has had in years, combining everything that they do well (psychedelic rock, metal, and prog) into shorter songs following a overarching theme. KG / LW rocks and pulsates (even takes a shortcut through the middle east) and embodies the skill and ease with which these guys compose music. It combines many genres but still sounds focused and unified. It’s remarkable in both scope and execution.
