BJC As usual, King Gizzard has distinguished themselves without sounding alienating, over complex, or inaccessible. With the eponymous use of micro-tonality, they make a sound that stands out from the lot. They aren't afraid to take on a challenging new concept and make it sound great. Favorite track: Rattlesnake.

MediaevalJo Favourite : Billabong Valley

Honestly just really good to listen too, nothing feels too repetitive despite some songs being around the 7 minute mark. Favorite track: Rattlesnake.

Alexandar Arsovski There is probably nothing even remotely similar to an experiment that not only works, but is a masterpiece. i worship all those beautiful sounds.... Favorite track: Nuclear Fusion.

about

Flying Microtonal Banana is King Gizzard's first-ever experience in microtonal tuning, which features intervals smaller than a semitone and not found in customary Western tuning octaves.

"Earlier this year we started experimenting with a custom microtonal guitar our friend Zak made for Stu," further explained drummer Eric Moore. "The guitar was modified to play in 24-TET tuning and could only be played with other microtonal instruments. We ended up giving everyone a budget of $200 to buy instruments and turn them microtonal. The record features the modified electric guitars, basses, keyboards and harmonica as well as a turkish horn called a Zurna."

Reflections of a Floating World
by Elder

supported by 67 fans who also own “Flying Microtonal Banana (N. America customers)”

An unbelievable mixture of stoner and heavy psych sounds and influences, also with plenty of long jam sessions to balance out with the amazing vocals. Ever since hearing this album I have been at a loss for words for describing what makes Elder such a great band to people who don't yet know them. The production on this record is also very, very crisp ellis_boyd_redding

Entrance is a beautiful opener. Nana literally has a sitar solo at the end which is insane... Nothing more needs to be said. Majupose has a sick bassline and it's in 7/4 which is cool, and Dripping Sun is a sonic experience that speeds up a down. CRAZY PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM! naakz
