KING GIZZARD AND LIZARD WIZARD – LAMINATED DENIM

Description

Released in 2022, Laminated Denim finds King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard embracing hypnotic repetition, motorik grooves, and expansive psychedelic exploration across two sprawling compositions that continue the conceptual threads of their prolific Made in Timeland universe. Built around the side-length pieces The Land Before Timeland and Hypertension, the album blends krautrock momentum, progressive rock complexity, jam-band improvisation, and swirling analogue textures into a sound that feels simultaneously tightly controlled and joyfully unrestrained. Rather than focusing on rapid stylistic shifts, the record locks into evolving rhythmic patterns, layered guitars, and cosmic atmosphere, allowing ideas to slowly mutate and build over extended runtimes. Dense, playful, and deeply immersive, Laminated Denim stands as one of King Gizzard’s most rewarding long-form releases, highlighting the Australian group’s endless appetite for experimentation and genre reinvention.
