Overview
The continuation of King Gizz’s genre-defying sound is ever-present in ‘The Silver Cord’. This album offers an immersive exploration of electronic textures and cosmic grooves, further pushing their sound into a digital realm while still maintaining their signature eclecticism - it’s truly impressive. The record features multilayered tracks interspersed with moments of spacious minimalism, supported by lush and detailed production that rewards attentive listening. The band’s fearless experimentation leads to surprising and rewarding twists. While there may not be as many standout tracks, this album deserves to be experienced as a cohesive whole and appreciated for its artistic vision. Fans of their more experimental tendencies will find ‘The Silver Cord’ as engrossing as anything else they have produced.

Recommended for King Gizzard superfans that are looking for their final journey into the digital realm.

Not much can be said here except that you can absolutely expect what you see - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard messing around with a load of synths. Nuts.
