Mammatus Clouds

 

What's a good starting point for King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard? I've only heard a few songs here and there. And they put out 5 albums in 2017 alone.

 

The People's Temple
Weekends Time
State Capitol 2014

 

The Bevis Frond
Sprawl
(Woronzow, 1994)

 

I'd start with "Float Along, Fill Your Lungs" and "I'm in Your Mind Fuzz". They were really hit and miss with the five new ones this year. IMO they missed most if the time.

 

This Australian group seems to have the heavy psyche thing down. Record is tough to find in the states.

 

Dead Meadow
Xemu Records (2013)

 

The Black Angels
Death Song
Partisan Records

This just came in today. The latest (2017) from the band. I splurged for the double-vinyl since it was only about 5 bucks more than the CD. It came with a poster and download card. Like Indigo Meadow, the band seems to still be veering away from the heavy, droning fuzz sound and becoming a little more trippy and atmospheric. Nothing on here that will knock your socks off but still a pretty good collection of songs, IMO.

 

I like the fact that it includes guys with haircuts.

I got turned on to that band from someone here at AK. Got that record and been looking for one other of theirs. My favorite thing about AK is finding new stuff to listen to.

 

I saw the Dandy Warhols do this in the 90's with about 40 others when they did a quick side trip to Sydney from Brisbane. I was straight and this 20 minute long aural assault was still a mindbender. The lighting tech. went nuts.

First time a lot of us had heard it as their first album wasn't available in Australia.

 

The Bevis Frond
New River Head
(Woronzow, 1991)

 

I'm unable to decide if I prefer this over "Sprawl".
