Listen/Watch: King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – Rattlesnake

Having already tucked an album under their belts this year, relentless Australian psych outift King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard have just announced a plan to release FIVE studio albums in 2017. Each record is set to be based around a different sonic experiment, with the first being their foray into microtonal tuning. In a press release drummer Eric Moore explained further:

“Earlier this year we started experimenting with a custom microtonal guitar our friend Zak made for Stu ... 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.”

The record, aptly titled Flying Microtonal Banana, is slated for release in late Feb, but here is the insane first single 'Rattlesnake' along with a video created by Jason Galea...
