Overview
’Flying Microtonal Banana’ is a groundbreaking exploration of microtonal tuning that pushes the boundaries of Psychedelic Rock (and boasts a great album title). The album introduces a hypnotic, otherworldly sound driven by unconventional scales, buzzing guitars, and intricate rhythms - yet manages to craft entirely listenable and captivating tunes from this complex approach. Its cohesive yet adventurous style creates a trance-like atmosphere, blending Middle Eastern and Asian influences with the band’s signature energy. While the microtonal approach may not resonate with everyone, the album’s seamless transitions and driving grooves make it an immersive listening experience. This is a bold and exhilarating step into uncharted sonic territory.
Recommended for those looking for a microtonal masterpiece.

Album Artwork Rating
8/10
This may be King Gizzard’s coolest album artwork to date. It’s bold yet minimalistic, and with its beautiful colour scheme paired with psychedelic visuals, how could you not enjoy this cover? The microtonal notes rising like smoke from the toxic barrel perfectly tie the album’s theme together.
