Not “slightly de-tuned”. Semi-tones. Notes between notes. Only in the last few hundred years did we designate the A-G notes. Many cultures use notes in the middle. Check out their fretboards on their guitars.

[@redaffix7320]

I find that Gizzard is an album at a time band. Especially with the 2017 albums. Gumboot is definitely a more typical album, most of the songs being "leftovers" from the other albums, and still they're fantastic. Great Chain, down the drain, and all is known are so damn good.

[@New-ko5qj]

you're in for a ride with this discography, they're basically genre surfing heroes. i love this band so much. their new stuff is good but definitely go backwards and listen to something from the albums Nonagon Infinity, Polygondwanaland or Flying Microtonal Banana

Headphone-wise, Sketches is also a lot of fun to listen to (again and again). My personal favorite is Polygondwanaland though. I love synths, so that album, as well as the song Cyboogie, are very much to my liking. The new album is great too! Butterfly 3000!!! (Best tune & lyrics: Catching Smoke)

[@j_stach]

Newbies, listen to 12 Bar Bruise, before you dive in

[@jasonhawken871]

Did nobody tell him they record microtonal albums? XD

[@georgehenry8391]

I don't have a trained ear, exactly, but my guess is that the "slightly detuned" sound here involves some deliberate microtonality. I'm confident that they knew exactly which tones they were using. I think it's great that some "popular music" nowadays expands its musical palette beyond commonplace 12-tone equal temperament.

[@shambolick6232]

@@georgehenry8391 yes this is a microtonal album it's all intentional

[@BrandonGoodell]

@@georgehenry8391 this is correct, they manufactured a bunch of 17-tone instruments just for their album "flying microtonal banana" and whatcha gonna do with a bunch of microtonal guitars hanging around?

[@russellzauner]

@@georgehenry8391 oddly enough, our 12 tone equal temperament is what's weird if you leave your traditional western music and do some traveling. In fact, the reason why Leo called it a "precision" bass was exactly that it could enforce standard western intervallic pitch structures so that everyone could play the same pitches and all work together using simple patterns instead of ear memory training so you can actually intonate your notes properly on a fretless instrument. Can you imagine if you give something with steps that don't work if you use them wrong to people who don't even want to spend an hour learning how the structure fits together? It's almost like we secured a small sequestration of music so we could sell more instruments and they all sound great together for the most part no matter who is banging on them lol Right now I'm trying to approach Konnakol without losing my mind. It's complicated af but if you can get it you've utilized neuroplasticity to improve the capabilities of your mind.

[@georgehenry8391]

@@russellzauner Yes, I am aware. It's just a matter of cultural dominance, really. I fell in love with Indian classical music as a teenager, which uses an expanded tonal palette. I discovered Harry Partch and his wonderfully strange world of microtones in the 1980s. I have listened to everything from the microtonal pop of Brendan Byrnes and his projects to the 16-tone death metal of Ron Sword's band Last Sacrament and the 24-tone experimental metal (melded with serialism, which makes for a musical creative process and results that are about as strange as they can get) of Jute Gyte. I'm somewhat familiar with King Gizzard too, although I've heard only a small slice of their prolific output. I am subscribed to the Microtonal Guitar channel on YT and listen to it regularly. "What we need is" a YT reactor to microtonal music exclusively, just to help the average Western belle or bloke become more familiar with it.

[@saulgoodman1390]

The Gizz is definitely a deep dive in itself. They release albums at an incredible pace and basically every one sounds completely different to all the others, yet they all still have the band's signature sound which is essentially psychedelic, microtonal, prog rock/jazz/funk. Definitely check out Crumbling Castles, The River, People-Vultures, Automation, Mars For The Rich and I'm In Your Mind; some of my favs!

[@strangely2663]

i feel like their early stuff wasnt as distinct release by release tbh, but it was all still good shit. I think they've really mastered the art of genre surfing since then though

[@Greaseball01]

To piggie back o0n thius while they cover a lot of ranges there a few albums that are sort of similar sonically and some others that are similar thematically and a little bit of crossover examples - I'm in Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity, Murder of the Universe - All fit together nicely sonically and thematically and even the lp covers match Paper Mache Dream Balloon, Polygondwanaland, Fishing for Fishies - this ones more lose but polygon and fishies have this weaving crossover between more acoustic folkish sounds and electronics with varying levels gizzesque rocking and jazzy interludes etc. Flying Microtonal Banana, KG, and LW are all microtonal albums but that really is all that connects them, other than KG's tracklist rolliing right into LW's and then there's like 15 other albums that are also awesome.

[@kianr2200]

Very accurate description of the band lmao

[@derricktipps9867]

Wasn't expecting that after the intro break. Love the funk

[@lWreyl]

King Gizzard is awesome dude. They have a really interesting take on multiple different genres of music. Would highly recommend listening to more of their stuff :)

[@timothy-js]

I'm glad you're digging the microtones - King Gizzard uses 24 tone equal temperament (i.e. quarter tones) for their microtonal stuff. Their albums 'Flying Microtonal Banana' and 'K.G.' consist entirely of microtonal songs and there are a few other albums that feature 1 or 2 microtonal tracks as well. If you're looking for other bands that use microtonality, I'd check out Horse Lords, Brendan Byrnes, Methods Body, 75 Dollar Bill, and Altin Gun (only some songs).

[@AramaxTheHuman]

I absolutely LOVE Brendan Byrnes! Love all his albums, and his band ILEVENS :D

[@richardsteffens6159]

Would love to hear your take on Gizzard's track Crumbliing Castle. Might be my favorite by them.

[@Piratejackyar]

The problem with trying to review King Gizzard is that they change genre 4 times a year so it is hard to find something definitive. I personally think microtonal flying banana is their most unique work though so something off that album, like Rattlesnake, is worth checking out.

Many other commenters agree. I would prefer the Inner Cell - Loyalty - Horology trilogy (10 minutes, 26 seconds). In an ideal world, Key would do all of Polygondwanaland. (Not just for us, but also because he's probably gonna enjoy that one more than any other album. It's sooo proggy, psychedelic and mystical.)

[@coolcatandrew]

I fell in love with KGATLW in 2017 when the YT algorithms sent Robot Stop my way and I have loved them dearly ever since. The sheer amount of musical styles they've touched on is staggering, from their early Garage/Surf Rock in Willoughby's Beach and 12 Bar Bruise, to the Summer of Love-esque acoustics of Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, to the rock/jazz fusion of Sketches of Brunswick East, to the straight thrash metal of Infest the Rats' Nest.

[@Psych21]

King Gizz is as badass a band as you can find out there right now! The Australian Psych scene is exploding right now and they are the front runners. Them, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Tame Impala really doing a lot for rock as a genre right now. King Gizz loves to give back though, releasing some of their stuff royalty-free and even starting their own record company (Flightless). Psychedelic Porn Crumpets also started their own label (What Reality?). It's a beautiful thing they have going on down there in Australia. Almost convinced to try and move there... almost.

There is so much material and such a wide variety when it comes to King Gizz. Such a fun band. I'd love to see more. Something to check out in this vein would be "Rubber Bullies" by Tropical Fuck Storm. Or anything by All Them Witches.

[@jeffloucks2120]

ATW... yes.

Huge fan of this band! Subscribing to your channel. I second what many others have said: "Crumbling Castle" is definitely a must-listen. They're a prolific band with a lot of variety.

[@kynnedygleason316]

I would watch a series of reaction and breakdown videos outlining the discography of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard by you, but I'm In Your Mind Fuzz and Murder of the Universe would the two I would really like to see. Thanks for the time you put into the channel.

[@alexanderdillon3754]

yeah also they have a whole crop of literally micro tonal fretted guitars and basses and keyboards. they made a whole record called flying microtonal banana. really good record

[@xorinoa]

I hadn't heard of this band either. It's funny because I saw someone wear a t-shirt from the band LAST NIGHT and I had the thought to look them up. So this works out super well! I'm definitely gonna have to add this band to some playlists. They sound dope!

[@eatower2]

Good vibes man... I literally just watched this for the first time last night, then this thing pops up this morning. Loving these takes man, keep this shiiiiiit up!

[@Garotte14]

Would love for you revisit one of the most underrated bands in the US, Alter Bridge. I think they are top tier musicians and all pretty elite at their respective instruments. Please do Blackbird - Live at the Wembly.

Your face when the microtonal chord build hits at 4:01 Priceless

[@dirtmonkey4x435]

Watching your face move with the tune was exactly the same way I felt listening to it the first time. It's out there, in a good way.

Crumbling Castle!

[@MsJantje666]

Some background on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (also know as KGATLW) They are together for 11 years now and have released 16 full albums since 2012. 5 of which were released in 2017 only. They were a 7 piece band but their second drummer left the band in 2020 to focus more on flightless records. A record label started by the band where they release music from themselves and friends. 3 of the members do vocals over various songs and like these songs some of the songs dabble into microtonality. The band is mainly focused on psychedelic rock but they have ventured into garage, acid rock, prog rock and even thrash metal. And this might even be the craziest part: many of their releases are part of one story (or gizzverse as the fans have called it) The band has claimed they know where the story starts and where it will end but this is not really confirmed.

[@marcotewlow8533]

4 vocalists! Don’t forget Cookie, sparse as his songs may be!

[@hannah6257]

they are honestly amazing !

[@sgtstank]

Since this is the second time I've heard you mention the clavinet, you really should go check out an artist named Lachey Doley's rendition of Bill Wither's "Use Me". His custom built clavinet and the resulting style of play is just too cool.

[@escalonarr]

Has he done any other King Gizz songs? Would love to see him react to songs from their 2014-2019 period. I love this dude.

[@killer-pothos]

The River is also great! KEXP has a great live session for it.

Crumbling Castle. Road Train.

[@ellajorgi2478]

agree, Road Train

[@ellajorgi2478]

@@MadhouseBaum as anything, I guess it's a matter of personal taste :D I'm not sure I am even capable of explaining this, but I've noticed it about my musical preferences that I like fairly monotonous but strong and forceful rhythmical section on tracks which Road Train does have. The rest on the album are more flowing and swinging if you know what I mean, and so Road Train stands out to me personally. I probably lllove Organ Farmer from Rats' Nest the most for the same reason :D

[@jameshotchkin8438]

@@MadhouseBaum I like the desert rock elements, similar to Kyuss. I enjoy KGLW for bringing different styles to the fore. Prog rock is right up there but luv the desert rock type stuff too.

Awesome awesome! I LOVE this band, and they have SO many sounds it’s incredible! You’re in for a ride! For suggestions without spoiling anything of the songs, here are some cool ones: -Anything from Polygondwanaland (Crumbling Castle slaps) -The Wheel -The River -Invisible Face/Wah Wah -Self-Immolate -Countdown -The Book -Billabong Valley -Nuclear Fusion -Digital Black -Lord of Lightning -Beginner’s Luck -Straws in the Wind -Fishing for Fishies -Organ Farmer This is already more than enough to getting into their music! Once you start to dive in, you’ll see that they are very prolific and can have an out there sound in some cases

[@hipiada]

As a life fan of rock/psychedelic music and as a Millenial - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are without a doubt the most creative rock band of our generation! Anybody who doesn't know them yet is missing a lot. They are like The Beatles of our era
