Review by UMUR
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

"Hey There / Ants & Bats" is the first single recording by Australian, Melbourne based experimental music act King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The single was originally an independently released CDr, which was initially released in a limited number of copies and which wasn�t initially available in a digital format. It was released in 2010. In December 2020 the two tracks from the single were included on the "Teenage Gizzard" compilation album.

Stylistically the two tracks on the single are psychedelic rock/garage rock with surf rock elements. They feature a relatively lo-fi recording quality, but are still pretty well sounding and the raw sound production values actually provides the tracks with a feeling that you�re in (or maybe just outside) the room where they are rehearsing the songs. There�s definitely a live rehearsal feeling to the recordings and I wouldn�t be surprised if the tracks were recorded live in the studio.

It�s obvious from the performances that the band are well playing and although the material isn�t particularly unique at this point, there�s definitely promise of something greater here. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
