Our Take

Ah, the enigmatic and ever-evolving King Crimson. With their latest release, "Lizard," the band continues to confound and delight audiences in equal measure.

From the moment the haunting flute melody of "Cirkus" dances into your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. The jazzy, progressive rock influences are undeniable, with complex time signatures and intricate instrumentation weaving together to create a musical tapestry that is as intricate as it is captivating.

Frontman Robert Fripp's virtuoso guitar work shines throughout the album, effortlessly shifting between delicate fingerpicking and blistering, face-melting solos. His unconventional approach to the instrument is a highlight of tracks like "Indoor Games" and "Happy Family," where his signature sound takes center stage.

But it's not just Fripp who steals the show on "Lizard." Vocalist Gordon Haskell delivers a passionate and emotive performance, infusing tracks like "Lady of the Dancing Water" with a sense of ethereal beauty that is truly captivating.

Overall, "Lizard" is a mind-bending journey through the world of progressive rock, with King Crimson once again proving why they are revered as one of the greatest bands of their generation. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music wash over you – you won't be disappointed.

With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
