King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is some killer garage surf- sludge from Melbourne, Australia. The band states they were brought together through a share house in Carlton and a mutual love of Pavement, Thee Oh Sees and Nuggets Comps. Thanks to HeroKid for the recommendation.
Their first track 'Black Tooth' has been summarized: "it opens with a burst of machine gun guitars before replacing the fury with some old fashioned malice in the guise of a surf-slicked riff - but there ain't no pina coladas and high-titted broads in bikinis here friends - just broken boards jutting out of the sand and blood under the nails. Fuzz vocals and a deadly accurate percussive attack fill out the picture in lurid, dripping, neon-lit detail. Mixing the sex of The Velvet Underground, the interstellar wonder of the 13th Floor Elevators and the sheer hostility of The Monks and The Stooges."
You can order Willoughby's Beach EP here, for $20. The 10" record is a fezzy transparent yellow colour. The package includes a double-sided square photo insert with album lyrics and liner notes and an individual photo personally signed by the band. When you buy this product from Bandcamp you will also get an automatic download of the EP. The EP is limited to 350 copies only.
Killer stuff!
