"Shanghai" - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard comes out with new music at such a rapid pace that it can be difficult to keep up with them. Their debut album (2012's 12 Bar Bruise) came out less than 10 years ago and they've already released 18 albums. Their most recent is from June of this year: Butterfly 3000 and it includes the track I'm featuring in this post: "Shanghai."

As the name suggests the song has a distinctly eastern vibe to it. This song has more of a keyboard/synth vibe than a guitar vibe, that seems to be the direction King Gizzard is going, at least at the moment. They change directions quickly! I am not that good at dancing about architecture really, I guess that it doesn't make much sense for me to have a blog about music then, eh? But I just want people to know about these songs. Listen to the song! It's cool!  

Like many of their songs "Shanghai" has a cool psychedelic video available. Check it out:

"Sense" - King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard

You can't go wrong with starting off with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard one of the best and definitely the most prolific modern psychedelic rock bands around. They do so many different styles and have released so many albums that it may be difficult to pick out just one tune to share but I've always loved "Sense" from the first time I heard it. Listen to the studio version on Spotify here

and this live version from 2019 in Dallas, Texas is pretty awesome too:
