Released just months after K.G., L.W. finds the Melbourne collective deep in the microtonal rabbit hole they first explored on Flying Microtonal Banana back in 2017, now wielding custom-built and retuned instruments with the confidence of a band that has spent years reshaping what rock guitar can actually sound like. The quartertone intervals that might have felt experimental before now feel like home turf.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard return with ‘L.W.’, their seventeenth studio album and the third volume in the band’s explorations into microtonal tunings. A companion piece to its 2020 predecessor, ‘K.G.’, as well as a stand-alone work of art in its own right, L.W. displays a collision of musical worlds. After a decade of frenzied productivity and a recent inability to tour, the band was able to “reset [their] brains” and embark upon a search for “the notes between the notes”. Out via KGLW
