![]() ![]() One of the many other acts adding to the festival’s artistic range are psychedelic rock dynamos King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard from Melbourne, Australia, who will cause a ruckus this Saturday on the Delta Airlines Blue Stage at 7:35pm. Reviewer's Least Favorite Song: “K.G.L.W” and “Automation”Įmily McGlynn is a freshman majoring in broadcast journalism.Meanwhile, the Boston scene is getting some love as well with mod-pop act the Chelsea Curve and alt-rockers Born Without Bones as part of Friday’s lineup, then with blues and soul songstresses Julie Rhodes and Ali McGuirk performing on Saturday and hip-hop artists Cliff Notez and Oompa in the fray on Sunday. Reviewer’s Favorite Songs: “Intrasport” and “Ontology” They might end up finding something they might really like. Many people should try to be more open with what they listen to. It’s not terrible - just different and something new for the ear. Overall, this album is something not many have heard before. Again, it is all up to the listener to decide what they do and do not like. For people who have never heard of this genre before will not like it. People who are really into progressive, psychedelic rock will probably like it. Some might like this new combination of genres and spooky nature it has. The beauty of music is that everyone interprets it in their own way. It is uncertain what the lyrical theme of this album is, though, since it is all over the place with the topics discussed. Lyrics like this are very graphic and forward “Re-enter the uterus/And refund all your cells.” ![]() On the song “Minimum Brain Size,” the band talks about selfish people who only think about themselves. ![]() KGLW is talking about historical remembrance and how many people are forgotten but some will be remembered eternally. Singers nowadays are usually talking about their relationships, money or power. Just like the music, the lyrics are distinct from other progressive rock artists. “Automation,” “Straws In The Wind” and “The Hungry Wolf Of Fate” are very rock. “Ontology,” “Honey” and “Some Of Us” are more Middle Eastern than the others. It goes back and forth throughout those genres mentioned and makes one epic song. The song “Intrasport” takes disco, Middle Eastern music and rock music for one weird ride. Many of the same instruments are used, but they are used in idiosyncratic ways - interesting instruments used throughout are the flute and sitar. However, KGLW ensured each song is distinct. Many artists that do this, sometimes, have a hard time making every song unique and different from one another. “K.G.” is an album that must be listened to as a whole. The first thing people will notice from listening to this album is how well it flows together. To clarify, the name of the album “K.G.” is short for “King Gizzard.” Maybe the next album will be “L.W.” for “Lizard Wizard.” Each new record they release is something different and listeners will never know what their next sound is going to be. There is no such thing as “staying in the box” for the group. KGLW is an Australian band that has been constantly making music since 2010. The band has taken Middle Eastern sound and mashed it with rock music, which is quite a sound not many have heard before. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard released their 21st album of funkiness on Friday. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - “K.G.” Review King-gizzard-the-lizard-wizard-k.g.-review-2020 ![]()
