A week ago, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard released their latest album, Fishing For Fishies :Do you think this album increases or decreases their prog credentials? After listening to the album a few times, it seems to me that a few tracks decrease their prog credentials and a few tracks increase their prog credentials, but overall I am undecided (though leaning towards a decrease). The music on the album does seem to be a natural progression from their previous album, Gumboot Soup, although without the microtonal sounds.

FFF is certainly not prog but I think that's beside the point. Its just another album from a band who couldn't give a rat's ass about genres or labels - but who are progressive in spirit. Imo they've proven long ago both musically and in attitude that they belong here - more than most relatively successful contemporary bands related to rock. Personally FFF is my least favorite release of theirs post-Paper Mache Dream Ballon (which the cute title track and first heard "teaser" initially reminded me of) but still a fun album. The Cruel Millenial is kind of awful and I'm sort of hoping its ironic but the rest is enjoyable.

+ I got their next album sometime later this year to look forward to. Hoping for more enviromental thrash metal:

I think the album gets proggier as it progresses. I very much enjoy the last three tracks, the second last track ("Acarine") being my favourite from the album. However, overall I prefer their previous album "Gumboot Soup" to this one.

I'm quite surprised these guys aren't on the website yet, I mean at least 3 of their albums are certainly progressive rock. They're certainly more progressive than many artists already on the site. Come on now.

Cool! Last we heard was that they were rejected - so we couldn't know things were just moving along slowly

Has anyone written a biography for the band yet? If not, I'd be happy to write one.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

They probably were rejected. It's only their newer albums that qualify them.

What do you think of this (their second) album?:
 
 
AllMusic says that Morricone would have been proud of their efforts.

Just wondering why one of the leading prog bands of this decade aren't on this site? Sure, some of their earlier efforts are closer to psych rock, but there really shouldn't be much of an argument on their status as a prog band. Just file them under psychedelic prog and call it a day (or even prog related would be better than nothing).

As mentioned above, they have in fact been cleared for addition to the psychedelic prog section. However, ProgArchives is run on a volunteer basis, so bands aren't always added right away, especially when they have such a large discography as King Gizzard has. Without more information as to what's going on behind the scenes, I personally think that's it's been quite a while and they should have had enough time to add them. However, we can never know what exactly the situation is, and it's entirely possible that the PSIKE team has simply been swamped and hasn't had the time to add such a large discography; given that it's a very small team of four members and they manage four sub-genres, I think this is most likely the case, and that we just have to give them more time. I'm sure they will get to it eventually; three of them voted in favour of addition, so it's not like the band is being snubbed.

With so many fans around here of the band, we would appreciate the help in form of a biography.

On the site we like to provide biographies written by our members instead of copy pasting it from other resources and for a band like this that seems to be this eclectic and complicated it would be fair to write something that would do them justice, it can be intimidating and a lot of work to get into when you're busy and it's not a band that you're very well familiar with so you need to do a lot of exploring.

With that said, if a decent biography is provided, we can get the band added with all the the details that the page needs, like the albums, in a very short time, basically a matter of minutes.
