King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – Nonagon Infinity

Nonagon Infinity is an electrifying and ambitious album that finds King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard blending relentless energy with conceptual ingenuity. Seamlessly looping from end to beginning, the nine tracks deliver a continuous, high-octane psych-garage experience designed to play as one unbroken performance. Released in April 2016, the album expands the band’s sonic palette—channeling prog, heavy metal, jazz-fusion, and krautrock—while maintaining razor-sharp hooks and brutal momentum. Celebrated for its cohesion and intensity, Nonagon Infinity stands as one of the band’s most potent and creatively realized efforts, earning it breakthrough acclaim and broader recognition.

Built as a Möbius strip of sound, Nonagon Infinity thrusts listeners into a dizzying, immersive ride. Its propulsive rhythms, layered instrumentation, and recurring motifs create a sense of thrilling urgency—like a sonic roller coaster that refuses to stop. Far from disjointed chaos, the album is meticulously crafted: each track transitions with precision, culminating in a climactic loop back to the opener. The result is a fiercely original, exhilarating statement that showcases King Gizzard’s fearless creativity and boundary-pushing ambition.

Reviews

"Not only their best album yet, but maybe the best psych-metal-jazz-prog album ever." – AllMusic

"Yields some of the most outrageous, exhilarating rock ’n’ roll in recent memory." – Pitchfork

"Reinvention is the calling card of bonkers Australian seven-piece … they’re supplementing their traditional fuzz with the frenetic pace and blistering melodies of what they’ve called ‘the heavier sort of ’70s metal’." – NME

"By far King Gizzard’s most cohesive record to date – a hyper-detailed punk opera that few of their peers have matched for intensity, ambition or sheer derangement." – Uncut

"A rollicking, garage-rock epic." – BeatRoute
