Flying Microtonal Banana

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

A hypnotic exploration of microtonal tuning and Anatolian psych-rock. Motorik rhythms meet custom-fretted guitars for a gritty, desert-bleached odyssey.

It's like a garage band found a bag of Turkish instruments and decided to rewrite the laws of physics.

A disciplined, hypnotic trance that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The relentless, eight-minute motorik pulse of the opening track that feels like a snake coiling around the listener.

The jarring, reedy wail of the zurna cutting through the mix on the title track closing.

The deep, throat-singing vocal introduction that anchors the heavy groove of Nuclear Fusion.
