King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard: “Gondii”

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard gets a little proggy in a MGMT sort of way. Something about a certain crop of bands that came up in the late aughts and early teens: a willingness to press every button on the genre playlist and roll it into a song. The Australian band walks us down a sunny boulevard that could be a feel-good single in the 70s in the coke-laced Fleetwood Mac vein, driven along by relentless synth, and set to a hurky jerky 80s New Wave rhythm that keeps you on edge. Loads of sounds, layers and layers, ruthlessly harnessed to the carthorse of pop structures. All for your listening pleasure…
