Our Take

Ah, KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD, a name as wild and unpredictable as their music. Polygondwanaland, the latest offering from these Aussie psych-rockers, is a mind-bending odyssey through cosmic dimensions and dense sonic landscapes.

Opening track "Crumbling Castle" sets the tone with its sprawling prog-rock riffage and mind-melting time signature shifts. Frontman Stu Mackenzie's vocals drift in and out of focus, like a hallucinogenic dream sequence. The band's signature blend of fuzzed-out guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and ethereal synth textures creates a psychedelic vortex that sucks you in and doesn't let go.

Tracks like "The Castle In The Air" and "Inner Cell" showcase the band's knack for crafting intricate and otherworldly soundscapes, while "Loyalty" and "Horology" delve into darker, more ominous territory. The album's title track, "Polygondwanaland," is a sprawling epic that shifts and morphs with a sense of urgency and unpredictability.

Throughout Polygondwanaland, KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD demonstrate a fearless exploration of sound and form, pushing the boundaries of psychedelic rock in unexpected directions. With each listen, new layers reveal themselves, inviting the listener to get lost in the band's twisted universe.

In conclusion, Polygondwanaland is a mesmerising journey through the unknown, a sonic rollercoaster that will leave you questioning reality and craving more. KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD have once again proven themselves as pioneers of the genre, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of psychedelic rock. Long live the lizard wizard.
