WILLOUGHBY'S BEACH

"Willoughby's Beach" is the second EP recording by Australian, Melbourne based experimental music act King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The EP was independently released in October 2011. Featuring 9 tracks and a total playing time of 22:52 it´s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard´s first longer release and it´s obviously also a more professional and varied release than the earlier recordings by the band.

Stylistically the material on "Willoughby's Beach" however follows in the footsteps of the psychedelic/garage/surf rock style of the preceding releases. The sound production on the EP is just of a slightly better sound quality than the rehearsal room quality recordings of the earlier releases, although definitely still a bit on the lo-fi side of recordings. The material is nothing out of the ordinary for the genre, and although King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are obviously a well playing band, they didn´t produce music at this point which made them stand out or be noticed. A 2.5 (50%) rating is warranted.
