FINALLY DAVID TALKING ABOUT GIZZARD

I’d love to see you tackle their album “Changes”. The concept of the album being that they modulate between 2 different key centres with each chord change.

“Vibing in mixolydian for 13 and 1/2 minutes” sounds like a nice lil vacation

Hearing a detailed description of tonic notes while reading the lyrics “death smells like boiled eggs” is a real contrast im enjoying

Now you got to do a King Gizzard Time signature episode!!!! Love the Gizz!!!

One of my favourite bands featured in a couple days by Middle8 and you. What a treat!

I bet David's happy that he finally has a song that's a true representation of Locrian. At this point, King Gizzard has so many albums you could use only them to demonstrate concepts from now on.

The most fantastic thing about KG&LW is that, despite their ginormous output and despite their ability to go full-on theoretical with albums like this (Or Microtonal Banana or Polygondwanaland), their songs are still great to listen to, earworms even, and they still convey messages. If you had no idea that this record goes through all the modes, and were just listening it for the songs, the lyrics, the feel, the soundscapes, it's still a great, rewarding listen - and not, what it easily could have become, a boring contrived lesson in music theory. My fave is Butterfly 3000 which, to me, is like pulling Kraftwerk into the Gizzverse.

You gotta talk about changes. The entire concept is that each chord change changes the key the song is in, alternating between D and F# major (hence the title). While most of the songs just vamp between two chord the entire time, I still think it's an interesting thing to go into detail about

Magma is probably one of king gizzards best songs

I love how the modes on this album create a feeling of existential dread as you start with the uplifting Mycelium and delve deeper and deeper until the dark, crushing Gliese 710

Ah, so this band makes music theory themed concept albums? I never gave them much attention, but now I'm genuinely intrigued

Musicians like these guys are who I aspire to be, adventurous and generally just doing whatever genre they want not worrying about sticking to one genre strictly

The fact that some people will now listen to gizzard because of this video makes me very happy. Enjoy guys, it's a hell of a rabbit whole. You're all welcome to this community!

I love the creativity on display in this album. Iron Lung is one of my favourite KGLW songs ever written

I'm pretty much music illiterate, haven't been able to read music in over 25 years. I still don't quite get what's being explained but what I do understand is just how much thought really does go into a King Gizz album, especially one that's really great like Ice, Death, Planets... It just astonishes me how something can sound/feel jammy, but be so well planned out.

Of course King Gizzard would be the ones to make a full locrian song sound good.

this album is my fav from them

This is awesome - so cool that the band deliberately decided to do a whole album based on modes! By the way, I would love to see you do a video about borrowed chords/ modal modulation and how they can be used for songwriting purposes to convey a certain emotions when writing. Anyway, keep up the good work David - brilliant channel!
