King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - "Theia (Extended Mix)" from the 2023 album The Silver Cord on KGLW
The\\xa0Australian psych sextet\\xa0King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard might be making KEXP history with this 20-minute long track, which I\'m pretty sure is the longest Song of the Day offering to date! The single comes from their 25th overall LP (and second of 2023),\\xa0The Silver Cord, which finds the experimental group delving into electronic music.
\\u201cWe come at electronic music from an amateur angle,\\u201d frontman Stu Mackenzie says in a press release. \\u201cI play the Juno synthesizer like a guitar, I don\\u2019t really know how to play it. But I wanted to be at peace with being the rock band pretending to know how to use modular synthesizers. We\\u2019re in uncharted waters, we\\u2019re further out to sea, but leaning into it, and we got to a spot where we were really happy with what came out.\\u201d
As for today\'s Song of the Day,\\xa0Mackenzie declares, "It\\u2019s for the Gizz-heads," adding, "I love Donna Summer\\u2019s records with Giorgio Moroder, and I\\u2019d never listen to the short versions now \\u2013 I\\u2019m one of those people who wants to hear the whole thing. We\\u2019re testing the boundaries of people\\u2019s attention spans when it comes to listening to music, perhaps \\u2013 but I\\u2019m heavily interested in destroying such concepts."
