“I don’t know what I think about King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, to be honest. They are embarrassing one minute, and sound like the future the next — as any act this prolific might be,” writes borrelli.

This article is available exclusively for our subscribers, who help fund our work at the Chicago Tribune.Fans watch King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard perform at the Salt Shed on June 11, 2023.. Like, capital F fun. The same fun once associated with rock. The kind of heady, indulgent fun that leaves me wondering if they’re idiots or geniuses. They are hard to pin down, and that’s the point of KGLW. They’re from Australia. They’ve made.
They would be the new Grateful Dead if Taylor Swift weren’t already the new Grateful Dead, an American traveling obsession, to be dissected each night and shared among a vast network. They opened with the angular, indie rock of “Pleura.” They lent a glorious Blue Öyster Cult-like stomp to “The Great Chain of Being.” They recalled the prog crunch of Jethro Tull on “Satan Speeds Up,” with flute. “Trapdoor” — which centered on KGLW founder Stu Mackenzie, the Gizzard King, growling “Trapdoor! Trapdoor!” — was weird enough to fit into a Frank Zappa suite. It’s hard to listen to them, or even discuss them, without hearing precedents. Yet lovingly so.
