Pressed on Recycled 180g Vinyl LP and Packaged in a Brown Paper Bag in Place of Shrink Wrap

Count on the group of Australian weirdos - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - to come up with an idea like this - a 12" of four songs, each 10 minutes and 10 seconds long. 2015's Quarters!, not quite an EP not quite an LP, takes a sharp turn into the wispy and mellow; "The River" tumbles down a Brubeckian 5/4 meander right into a Leslie'd wicker counter-pattern; "Infinite Rise" rides a groovy yawning wake-up call through the commune; "God Is In The Rhythm" effervesces like a prom dance when the acid starts kicking in; and "Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer" circles ever upward like a friendly smoke signal from a beach fire. At 10 minutes apiece, the boys have plenty of room to stretch out around the songs, and they do so with loose limbs and stoned smiles. Altogether it feels like it flies in on dragonfly wings, lazily basks in the sun for a bit, and follows the sunset over the horizon...no doubt to write another record.

"We returned to Daptone for a second time to record this one, but this time with less of a plan. We had rented a big ol' house in upstate New York for a month to record in and we'd come down for weekends to play shows and record. We all went a bit crazy up there and got total cabin fever. Stu had 4 loose jams that felt in the pocket - so we went in there with hardly any structure and just kind of threw a few takes on the wall to see what stuck. 'The River' felt like a big turning point - I think we kind of tricked ourselves into thinking we could play jazz. Again with Wayne on the tape and the faders - we were getting to know each other and really starting to gel. This whole record was really unfussy and fell right into place." - Lucas Skinner
