Fishing For Fishies (CD)
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
Amoeba Review
08/31/2020
The prolific King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's latest full length is a testament to boogie, albeit through the hazy, sci-fi inspired eyes of these Australian psych-rockers. Channeling organic guitar rock and blues through their trademark mechanized art-rock sound, the septet find themselves in a country funk groove for the title track, which is perhaps the best pro-fish song recorded in years. Boogieman Sam keeps the groove going, this time by way of T-Rex and the fuzzy wailing of Chicago blues-esque harmonica, while "Cyboogie" answers the oft-asked question: what would Kraftwerk sound like were they fronted by Stevie Wonder.
