King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have released a staggering amount of music over the last decade. Two of those releases, 2017's Flying Microtonal Banana and 2020's KG are both heavily influenced by Turkish Psych-Rock. Geoff Stanfield caught up with the band's main producer, writer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Stu Mackenzie to chat about this direction and take a deeper look at some of their favorite tracks on the most recent of the two albums, KG. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
True babies in this bitch, we dont give a shit, you can suck a dick. Come again when we’re not listening to Chris. Ya listen to the RADIO? Change the station, take your podcast application and listen to some congratulations, I'm just saying.

$JoweeScott
Congratulations bitch you is a true cuda. You be eating pears & shit, 
playing solitaire & shit. You a vegetarian vaping up a ploom of smoke, so why the fuck is your nose facing my nose?
Yeah you should turn 'round, head on back to Nash Dakota. Wearing unreal pants. The cash app is so dope. 
Get my eggs fast, or do you gotta go to the moon? Why you look like Maurice Micklewhite & without a clue?

$SamLink:
Bitch of course I do ads, get the fuck up off my vag, gotta get my money bags, back it right up to my pad in the brinks truck.
Spotted a cuda told him to freeze punk, 
Nobody watching your facebook live cause s'free cunsh.
We dont wanna see that, wanna see the leader of the cult so tell me where he is and imma be there. Bitches trying to inspire me on instagram with their tits out dont deserve to breathe air.
I'm blood red mad like a motherfucker wanna be an elder
bad, after this shit i might be. Who the new elder be? (sam link)
shoutout to my rude boys and my side tings.

$ChrisCrownover
(Why da fuck my ex calling)
I dont fucking know, what the hell
might as well pick up the  phone and ask her yourself.
Oh you think its cool to go to coachella, you need stimulation?! Wrong bro. Imma havta hit yo ass with that congradulations combo. Turn ‘round, ya cuda ya cuda, ya cuda G’gunk. Ya cuda ya cuda, ya cuda G’gunk. Turn round turn round. Y’either sociopath or a liar, if you think you the man on fire. You aint never gonna see a fried butterfly until you buy five four club for you attire.

$CraigJohnsJR
Put a demon in it, no slice of life. You could eat a cock slice with a fork and knife. Every Monday night, I tell my homies sit tight cause Chris is on, unless you tryina fight!
Now son you actin crazy like you chill outside The Coffee Bean. Bitch, you know I'd kill you, They like "cause of death?" Succicynal Choline!
Call me Diane cause I'm so cool. I get more money than Square Cash too. Who the fuck is this? Some 'Cuda bitch? No really wh'are ya? That's New Mex shit.
Well you know we true babies and that's for real. Is this a rap? Or Michael Cane's career? Cause this songs been on for like a fucking year.. "Yo can you just play the hook and then just like end it?"

All the Mellotron strings were played on the Nord Piano 2 HA88. The drums are Garritan's fusion kit, as well as their percussion (different blocks and cow bells) all from the Jazz and Big Band library, plus the
orchestral percussion (triangles, suspended cymbals, gongs and bells),
and oboe from the Vienna Symphonic Libraries. I also played the Muramatsu flute, the Ibanez guitar through the Vox Valvetronix VT20X, and the fretted jazz bass through the Line 6 Bass Pod to get the right mixture of clean, and distortion. Then added some low strings using the Yamaha M06 keyboard by itself. Both the vocal and guitar were recorded through the Lewitt condenser mic.

Chris D'Elia Alarm

You can't stray from a path that has never been set.
Everything I could say has been said before.
Never turn around.. your feet rest upon the ground.
You truly see me now.
The black muck.
The dead silence.
You knew I'd call your name soon enough.
When will you learn that you need to take care of yourself.

In limbo
In limbo 
A window
In limbo 
In  limbo
In
The black muck the dead silence.

Gold mines and money don't really mean that much to me. 
At the end of the day there's nowhere I would rather be.
Just when I thought I could run toward the light.

In limbo
In limbo 
A window
In limbo 
In  limbo
In
The black muck the dead silence.

In Limbo
