Name a group, band, artist, or track you're really into right now

I'm about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.

EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I've got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there's probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.

Kepion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it'll sound like imo.

mm_maybe@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.

I love KGLW but I don't like the microtonal stuff.

mm_maybe@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

To each their own. That's part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They're a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!

I don't think I've heard that, gonna check it out. I really like all the stuff they did with Leon Bridges, I wasn't ever really a fan of that type of like country/r&b or what ever it is until then, but damn those albums/EPs are great.

I tried to go see them open for Toro y Moi one time, and Toro cancelled so it was just them for the whole set and they started just doing hip-hop covers in their style to extend their set and it was hands down one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Oh nevermind! Zionsville is on my favorite album they've done. I don't know the track names because I usually just throw on a whole album at once

This will likely be my favorite for a long long time. Just so relaxing.

Also I LOVE that they used French Canadian music on the show! It's so nice to hear. I will start Shoresy soon, just Letterkenny echoing in my head a bit right now. Sometimes I just play the episodes and only listen because I find the dialogue comforting as I work.

Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he's playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".

Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.

Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue and "Get it on" by Turboneger.

Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.

"Stand up and shout" by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.

Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!
