Although Crows Nest will be a write-off so not that.

Can I ask why? Too packed?

Never been in there myself.

Yeah it gets packed easily - certainly would for KGATLW - and also it's horrendous to get up to. Especially after it's been raining... the horror.

They ought to install a rail on that hill or at least a big rope fixed on to the top.

That Conan performance! Things I thought I'd never see on commercial television... So good.

Debut album "Laugh About Life" from Gizz guitarist Cook's side project Pipe-Eye is out on all reliable streaming services.

I don't know where to start with this lot, given their productivity. Do they tend to play more recent stuff live?

How on earth do these guys find the time for side projects?

I think they have a studio for their label but still it's impressive.

Yeah, well they quite often play forthcoming stuff live.

For a primer on what their live show would be like now I'd start with Nonagon Infinity and Flying Microtonal Banana. Beyond that there's songs like Trap Door, Cellophane, The River that will likely get an outing.

Doom City
Nuclear Fusion
Anoxia
Billabong Valley
Evil Death Roll
Invisible Face

Couple listens in, really hard to form a coherent opinion on this thing so far. It's bewildering in a lot of ways but also very conventional Gizz stuff in other ways - right down to one of the tracks just being a 17 second clip of People Vultures. Interested to hear what others think once more people have heard it.

That's an early leak. Quality OK?

yeah. Considering how quickly these guys release albums they probably have them ready fairly early on, as proven when they posted the teaser for Murder Of The Universe the same day that Flying Microtonal Banana came out.

[Mash011]

Yep it's good quality. Think most of their albums leak pretty early, FMB and Nonagon did didn't they?

Got mine off a tracker but it should be around all your usual places by now.

[dentalplan]

First impreshunz.

Tale of the Altered Beast is p. good but rages on for a bit too long, considering its essentially the same song. Following two chapters are brilliant. Lord of Lightning vs. Balrog is like a hamper of Gizzhead Easter eggs.

I don't think the album will go over as well as the last couple. Considering a few voices were saying about them hammering into the same sound quite often, they're purposely doing that on this record. Fucking good fun had over here though,

[evilduck]

I think I would prefer Altered Beast if it was condensed a bit and had less of the spoken word interludes. I love the last section though.

Yeah to say how much of a big deal it seemed, I completely zoned out of the spoken word across chapters 1 & 2. Couldn't make it out all that well to be honest. Read a transcript since and it seems quite interesting.

[When Jokers Attack]

Since it's leaked so early I won't be able to resist until it's released when we are at glastonbury so will be nearer end of June until I hear it, listening to it soon.

Picked up a coloured vinyl of Quarters from here if anyone else is interested - https://castlefacerecords.co.uk/products/king-gizzard-quarters

[Mash011]

Had this album on basically non stop since the leak, absolutely love it. Altered Beast in particular I think is one that rewards a lot of listens so give it some time, it'll grow on you I reckon. Yeah it's long but it develops really nicely in my opinion, much like another Gizz classic Head On/Pill. Think it's good to have one on there that does really feel like one long song unlike the others which have more discrete parts. LoL/Balrog obviously much more immediate but similarly banging. Han-Tyumi is a tough one because while Digital Black obviously bangs and I like the general build up of it, I find that that's the one where the spoken word goes a bit too overboard and becomes annoying, whereas the others I find it adds more than I'd expected it to.

Oh man, if I didn't already have this record I'd get this one for sure.

That's the one I got. Arrived yesterday.

 

new album is insane 

[priest17]

These don't seem likely enough to be at the farm to warrant their own thread (which is a crying shame) but they've been mentioned a few times in this thread so thought I'd just drop it here, new footage emerged from the other weekend with their new drummer and he's fit right in, it's beautiful

they replied to someone on here saying that the are doing three sets. I'm seeing Thee Oh Sees tonight, so thanks for helping build my excitement with that vid
