Throw a dart anywhere at the massive King Gizzard discography and you'll likely hit a bullseye, and this freebie from the band's five-album annus mirabilis of 2017 is no exception...another near miracle of polyrhythmic Prog Rock discipline and joy.
Heavy mile-a-minute Prog Metal normally isn't my thing, but these guys shred with surprising finesse, showing a healthy appreciation for nuance and melody underneath all the muscle and testosterone.
Thrilling Balkan Psych-Rock with authentic eastern European seasoning and a massive orchestral sound, thanks in part to the chorus of ululating she-gods descended from the summit of Midžor in musical fire and majesty.
Gentle acoustic guitar and banjo improvisations, performed al fresco in a mindful appreciation of a specific moment and place. The early morning outdoors ambience is profoundly restful...I think the chicken heard on several tracks deserves a co-writing credit.
I can't imagine a morning better spent, listening to 35-minutes of gently psychedelicized, open-air acoustic guitar improvisations accompanied by natural birdsong... pure magic, from the first note to the final harmonic.
Ethereal songs from the lighter end of the Psychedelic Source Records spectrum: the hypnagogic yin to an otherwise noisy collective yang. I never knew a banjo could be such a trippy instrument...
