The Feathered Groove
Volume 5 - December 2024
Our trip down the psychedelic realm just couldn't be contained in one volume, so I have dedicated Volumes 5, 6 & 7 to psych rock, mainly instrumental psych/cosmic, and indie/pop psych.
Grab the element enhancers of your choice and hit play on our all-day playlist to glide and wind thru your work day or those back-home-after-holidays travels or just give that vacation day a chill soundtrack.
Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Conceived from extensive jam sessions where each track helps create a sprawling, cohesive journey, KGLW blends elements of jazz, funk, psych-rock, and even touches of metal, all while exploring themes of man versus nature and environmental decay. Despite the darker lyrical subject matter, it sure has an infectious groove.
