(2020) King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is back with another microtonal project, the second one since their legendary 5-albums-in-one-year 2017 run. While the uninitiated to the Gizzverse would dismiss this as the same sound they've done before, keep in mind that this is their 16th(?) full-length studio album since 2012. K.G. is a solid album overall, ranging from microtonal (notes between notes in non-Western scales) disco house to sea-shanty-like songs about metaphysics in the span of about 40 minutes. A stand-out track, "Intrasport", is likely to be the next big dance hit of the generation that has moved past dance music entirely. Known for their constant ingenuity in whatever genre they emulate in each album, K.G. comes off as a more refined album of microtonal pieces that a band has to do once or twice to fully "get". Overall, it may not have been the new album we were expecting in the King Gizz community, but it was the one we needed.
