But regardless of which subgenre, I think they definitely belong here in Prog Archives. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I'd be perfectly happy for them to be in Psychedelic/Space Rock. However, I suggested Eclectic Prog in recognition of the variety they exhibit in their music.

Indeed! - often with a delightful middle-eastern twang to their riffing (but of course indo/raga is a bit of a stretch). Seriously, I really don't get how one can listen through their 2017-outings and somehow not think of King Gizzard as Progressive Rock.

When has that stopped other bands and artists from being included on here?

because there isn't any dogma given for that, simple as that
every member, every collaborator has a differing view on what prog is about teams have to decide, we have rules, the genre definition as a guideline, as a rough orientation we are discussing, we try to reach for unanimous decisions, we are unsalaried, we are humans, not machines ...

 A small group of regular people who impose their own understanding of the genre and accordingly work on bettering the database in the best possible way they can manage. That's it really. |

Multiple media outlets refer to KGATLW as prog: The Sydney Morning Herald refers to their "prog rock forebears" and Pitchfork media say they are "knee deep in prog rock".

Pitchfork also believes that Animal Collective and Fleet Foxes are prog so I guess that disqualifies them right off the bat
Nahh just pulling your leg. Oh and please keep in mind the PSIKE team, just like any other here on PA really, solely bases its evaluation on the music of KGATLZ...not how other sites view them

Disregarding the whole pork discussion here's a current live clip off of jootoob. Damn these guys can play with a drive and groove that really connects with me. I am most definitely going to see them come March. In fact I can't wait. Let's hope they bring the same energy as they exhibit here:

I don't envy the Psych team on this one, sounds like Hawkwind revisited but one could argue pure psychedelic rock instead of psych-prog. Anyway, sounds good

Just entered this forum for the first time in years to give my +1 for adding King Gizzard to Archive. I know, that the topic of KGALTW was discussed some time ago, but during 2017 they released 5 albums from which at least 3 are pure progressive rock albums. The band has garage sound, which is not so common in the genre, but they put it into prog-rock song and album structures. Long suites, changing time signatures, jazzy and oriental influences, rich arrangements with unusual instrumentation put together in the form of concept album with strong narration. What more to expect from progressive rock music? Please reconsider them.

I've heard. I like it. But its not Prog. The Shins, Ween, Broken Bells, Neutral Milk Hotel, String Cheese Incident, Fleet Foxes, and Jellyfish are as Prog as King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard. That being said, if you have to stick them in Progarchives I suggest Prog-Related. Maybe... Edited by omphaloskepsis - February 05 2018 at 11:37 |

Recently discovered them and came here to check their discography, was kind of surprised to find this thread instead. But anyway, I felt compelled to log in after several years just for the sake of vouching for them.
The albums from last year all have such a diverse set of soundscapes, lot of them remind me of Gong and other canterburish bands, yet there is a loot of jazz and psychedelia (and more) going on there. Complex time signatures and song/album structures are also prominent. What I don't know is.. where to put them? Psych sounds like a good choice, but from the previous 5 albums, you could say they are also very eclectic. Edited by ultracoola - February 15 2018 at 17:09 |
