King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard‘s mission to release five studio albums during 2017 will start on February 24th.
Microtonal tuning is the noteworthy aspect of Flying Microtonal Banana – drummer Eric Moore has more:
“Earlier this year we started experimenting with a custom microtonal guitar our friend Zak made for Stu. The guitar was modified to play in 24-TET tuning and could only be played with other microtonal instruments. We ended up giving everyone a budget of $200 to buy instruments and turn them microtonal.”
“The record features the modified electric guitars, basses, keyboards and harmonica as well as a turkish horn called a Zurna.”
King Gizzard have managed to find enough spare time to tour next year too, the details are:
