songs like “Static Electricity” have this feel the guitars really stick to the microtonal approach and feel very middle eastern in vibe. The music also plays in heavier tones and takes time to explore eastern tonalities with a mystical vibe. spends most of its time in folk rock territory with sections of atmospheric textures, catchy vocal melodies and layers of droning instruments and guitars. This gives the songs a strong world music sound that is used to create unique atmospheres and to create driving heavy rock music with impressive rhythms and a unique sound. King Gizzard fearlessly takes these microtonal notes and integrates them into their songs. The Western scale has 12 notes in an octave and other eastern systems can have 16-36 notes in an octave. This allows the band to play musical notes that are outside of the traditional western musical scale and include notes that are found in India and other countries. They have specially designed guitars with additional frets that fit between the traditional frets making it possible to play between the normal notes. is the third album where the band explores the world of microtonal musical scales. is the first studio album in 2021 for King Gizz and it shows a continuation of their boundless creativity and brilliantly displays their musical range. The songs are technical and pushing the band further into the world of prog rock while staying connected to the folky, funky rocking sounds the band is known for.
