They’ve even invented their own musical instrument – a hybrid electric guitar sharing much of its DNA with the traditional Turkish bağlama – to explore the notes between the notes (a mission that’s yielded three albums thus far:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlying Microtonal Banana, K.G. and L.W.\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut their 18th album, Butterfly 3000, might be their most fearless leap into the unknown yet: a suite of ten songs that all began life as arpeggiated loops composed on modular synthesisers, before being fashioned into addictive, optimistic and utterly seductive dream-pop by the six-piece. The album sounds simultaneously like nothing they’ve ever done before, and thoroughly, unmistakeably Gizz, down to its climactic neon psych-a-tronic flourish. The new album follows on from the two Gizzard full-lengths that preceded it,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eK.G.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eL.W.\u003c\/i\u003e, which, though begun traditionally, were completed during lockdown with the members finishing tracks remotely, as they were unable to congregate in the studio.

With lots of elements in different time signatures, it’d be very easy for something like this to just sound like a mess, like free jazz. It takes a lot longer to finesse everything, until every part feels deliberate. As one would expect on a King Gizzard \u0026amp; The Lizard Wizard album, thorny knots of prog surface occasionally – the immersive hopscotch tangle of ‘Black Hot Soup’, for example – but the dominant mode is brilliantly focused and accessible. From the pulsing, utopian electro-pop of ‘Yours’ and the pitch-bent visions of ‘Dreams’, to the ecstatic, uplifting loops of ‘Catching Smoke’ and the assured fusion of synthetic and acoustic elements on ‘Interior People’ (one of the greatest Gizzard anthems yet), Butterfly 3000 displays a confidence at odds with its experimental methods, and a succinctness that pays dividends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REVO RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40867366633628,"sku":"psych","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/1730\/8572\/products\/KINGGIZZARD.png?v=1631198598","url":"https:\/\/revorecords.com\/products\/king-gizzard-the-lizard-wizard-butterfly-3000","provider":"REVO RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
