King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Willoughby's Beach '2011/2022

Tracks list

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's first EP, Willoughby's Beach, finds the band
bursting out of the garage and delivering a record sprinkled with echoing yelps,
stomping beats, supercharged riffs, and tough-as-rattlesnakes mid-fi production.
Though quite a few songs sound like they were lifted directly from a volume of
Ugly Things ("Stoned Mullet," "Danger $$$"), their idea of garage rock revival
isn't very reverent and the nine songs cover a lot of ground, whether it's the
rambling rock of "Lunch Meat," the Cramps-y swagger of "Crookedile," the
drowning-in-reverb country balladry of "Let It Bleed," or the crooked
surf-garage title track. It was clear from the beginning that the bandmembers
did things their own way, and with a style that could best be described as wild
and loose. That being said, there is plenty of method to their madness, and they
showed mastery of form and function even at this early stage. Willoughby's Beach
served as a thrilling call to arms letting the world know that the Gizzard had
launched, and was ready to get really weird.
