| LISTEN TO ‘IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?’ |
|
In wake of the hugely anticipated and just released LP ‘K.G.’ – Australia’s most in-exhaustible sextet King Gizzard are back at it with another surprise drop of microtonal meddling. Barely giving their fans a chance to to take a quick breath before diving back into the multi layered and always inventive Gizzverse. ‘If Not Now, Then When?’ is a classic bait and switch from the genre defying band. Opening with a raucous wall of sound, before pushing the scuzzy riffs aside to make room for a clavinet driven expedition into cosmic funk and celestial beat. Falsetto in tow, Mackenzie’s vocals are on lock with the groove. Hitting the syllables with careful consideration, ‘If Not Now, Then When?’ brings more resemblance to a psych bedtime story than the fuzz imbued sound the group are widely known for. |

Collaborating for the first time with animation master Dr. D Foothead, his mesmerising imagery on show once again here. Defined by hypnotic detail, saturated colour and dynamic, flowing form – the character floats between inner and outer worlds in this three and a half minute neon odyssey. “The song made me consider how individual action or inaction affects the world,” Dr. D Foothead says of the video. “What happens when our repressed pain, darkness and confusion manifest and influence our surroundings and relationships? I wanted to explore the journey of a character who has neglected their inner shadow, and how this energy manifests physically and becomes a force of its own.” |
