Overview
A labyrinth of shifting time signatures, hypnotic rhythms, and sprawling psychedelic soundscapes, ‘Polygondwanaland’ is one of King Gizzard’s most ambitious and intricate releases. The album delves into Progressive Rock territory, weaving complex polyrhythms, layered instrumentation, and eerie, almost mystical atmospheres into a wildly immersive sonic journey. Despite its technical microtonal complexity, the album remains deeply engaging, balancing experimental tendencies with hypnotic grooves and a strong narrative thread. At the time, offered as a free release (!) for fans to replicate and reinterpret, ‘Polygondwanaland’ isn’t just an album - it’s an open invitation into the King Gizzard ever-expanding musical universe.
Recommended for those that accept the invitation to replicate a weird and wonderful microtonal journey.

Album Artwork Rating
7.5/10
At first glance, it may seem like an ugly cover, but it’s actually engaging, telling the story of the album through small visual details across the artwork. This might be a story that makes no sense to the naked eye, but it offers a small insight into the weird universe of King Gizzard.
