I’ve listened to every single King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard album and I can tell you that these are their five very best

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard.

If they’re not on the road, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard are likely to be found in the studio, writing songs for multiple albums simultaneously. There’s little downtime in the Australian psych-wizards’ camp, and to date, they’ve shared a monumental 26 albums since their formation in 2010.

The band's leader, and self-proclaimed “mad professor”, Stu Mackenzie humorously describes his need to create as a way of “emptying the trash” from his mind. Part of this “purge” includes the band's continuous need to experiment. Whether it’s recording a set of songs timed exactly at the same length (Quarters), inventing new instruments (Flying Microtonal Banana), dropping albums that pinball erratically between genres (Omnium Gatherum), or recording an album as one long infinite loop (Nonagon Infinity), King Gizzard are consistently crossing new boundaries, making unexpected moves, and redefining the art of music-making.
