by Brandon Carson Australian band King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard made 2017 their year. The band put out five records throughout the year, with only a couple months in between each: Flying Microtonal Banana, Murder of the Universe, Sketches of Brunswick East, Polygondwanaland and Gumboot Soup. The five records added up to a total of 13 albums in their entire discography since 2012, making for an incredible work ethic. In 2018, however, the band took a much-needed break, letting the five records sink in with the fans to decipher where they fit in the “Gizzverse”. Gizzard returned with “Cyboogie” in January of 2019, surprising fans with its electronic influence and sound. Later, the band announced Fishies, a nine-track record with a heavy blues sound. Fishies finds Gizzard at their most accessible and most different. Once again, the band has made an original album with a sound they haven’t touched upon too much.
