The Silver Cord

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

A dense, synthesizer-driven odyssey where mythological themes meet analog drum machines. Pulsating, cosmic, and relentlessly rhythmic.

Find on Amazon

It's like a 1970s sci-fi soundtrack found a drum machine and went to a rave.

A restless, cosmic energy that balances ancient mythology with futuristic machine-driven rhythms.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the heavy, industrial-leaning beat of Gilgamesh
The layered, high-pitched vocal harmonies that open Theia
The moment the acid-house bassline kicks in on Set
