Flightless Records - New Releases and Reissues


Recommended Posts

I agree 100 percent.  That fishies nonsense  and now thrash is just a band trying to "branch out" and not doing it well. 

 

All we need next is a gizzard hip hop to drive this final nail into coffin.

 

This band was excellent with float along, fuzz, nonganon, banana,  poly and gumboot.

 

The rest of the stuff is pretty tacky and generic

I was really into them up through the 5 releases in 2017, but haven't been motivated to listen to Fishing for Fishies - it just sounds annoying. Every time I'm shuffling my 2019 albums queue and a King Gizz song comes up, I get annoyed and skip it. Not really interested in thrash from them, either.

 

Of the 5-album streak I really liked the songwriting and variety on Microtonal, Sketches, and Polygondwanaland.

Looks like Infest the Rats Nest is going up today, 3 variants of 2000 each. 

All are deluxe versions apparently with similar differing features like the Murder pressing.

Yellow & Black Galaxy /2000
Highlighter yellow w/ green and blue splatter /2000

Black smokey wax with brown, red & gold heavy splatter⠀/2000

The 3rd single was on par with the first two...horrible

 

Setlist for new tour is weird

Fishies meets thrash is surely going to confuse some people

 

 

Last night's setlist was a little more balanced: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard/2019/forum-theatre-melbourne-australia-23917cd7.html

 

I was there and I thought it actually worked remarkably well. Some possible bias because being in Melbourne I get to see King Gizz A LOT and so to have a set that for the first time in a long time was predominantly new material was really refreshing. It wasn't as jarring as you might think.

 

The run home including "Self-Immolate" and then finishing with "Cyboogie" in particular was gold.
