Flying Microtonal Banana

Geelong’s insuppressible King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard not only released their next album, Flying Microtonal Banana, but also four further albums in 2017.

Flying Microtonal Banana, released on Heavenly Recordings, was recorded at the band’s own studio in Brunswick East, Melbourne, in the summer of 2016. Shimmering, hypnotic, and propulsive, powered along by the metronomic beat of two drummers, the album takes a subtle musical shift away from the frazzled freak-beat of its predecessor, Nonagon Infinity, which was released last year.

Trance-like, in parts clipped and concise yet deeply psychedelic, Flying Microtonal Banana reveals yet another musical side to a band seemingly in perpetual motion.
