King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Gamma Knife” [Video]
“Nonagon infinity opens the door,” sings Stu Mackenzie, frontman of Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It turns out, though, that once the door’s open, it never closes. That’s because the Melbourne septet has ingeniously crafted what may be the world’s first infinitely looping LP.
Each of the nine tracks on Nonagon Infinity seamlessly flows into the next, with the final song linking straight back into the top of the opener. One watch of the video will even make you dizzy as King Gizzard turn you around and around!
New album drops April 29th and currently there are at least four vinyl variants depending on the continent. You can pre-order HERE.
