Heavy Moss
Heavy Moss is an Australian psych-pop quartet led by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard bassist Lucas Harwood alongside Sam Ingles, Kyle Tickell, and Bec Goring. History Foundation Heavy Moss was formed due to a "spontaneous reunion" between Lucas Harwood and Sam Ingles in their hometown of Geelong, Victoria in 2022. The pair had previously been in a band named Atolls known for its 90's themed, gritty, retro-inspired sound. Harwood and Ingles work-shopped some of Harwood’s songs that did not quite fit with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, leaning more on psychedelic pop with inspirations from Elton John, King Krule, and Spacemen 3. Seeking a fresh direction, they brought in Kyle Tickell and Bec Goring to complete the lineup. The band has released their content under the p(doom) record label. Shortly after the band stabilized as a quartet they quickly released two singles: "Morning Milk" and "Summa". The former was mostly based on Harwood's style, while the latter was based ...

Psychedelic Pop
Psychedelic pop (or acid pop) is a genre of pop music that contains musical characteristics associated with psychedelic music. Developing in the mid-to-late 1960s, elements included " trippy" features such as fuzz guitars, tape manipulation, backwards recording, sitars, and Beach Boys-style harmonies, wedded to melodic songs with tight song structures. The style lasted into the early 1970s. It has seen revivals in subsequent decades by neo-psychedelic artists. Characteristics According to AllMusic, psychedelic pop was not too "freaky", but also not very " bubblegum" either. It appropriated the effects associated with straight psychedelic music, applying their innovations to concise pop songs. The music was occasionally confined to the studio, but there existed more organic exceptions whose psychedelia was bright and melodic. AllMusic adds: "What's trangeis that some psychedelic pop is more interesting than average psychedelia, since it had weird, occasionally awkward blend ...

Nonagon Infinity
''Nonagon Infinity'' is the eighth studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 29 April 2016 on ATO Records. The album is designed to play as an "infinite loop" where each song segues into the next and the last song segues into the first, so that "the record can be played front-to-back-to-front-to-back and the sound won't break". The title is a reference to this idea, as there are nine songs on the album that could be played "infinitely". Considered the band's breakthrough album, ''Nonagon Infinity'' earned positive reviews from critics and gave King Gizzard greater international exposure, while becoming their first release to make the top 20 of the Australian albums chart. The album "controversially" won Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2016, with some accusing the ARIA of miscategorizing ''Nonagon Infinity''. The album won Best Album at the Music Victoria Awards of 2016. The band has refe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
