SONG OF THE DAY

SONG OF THE DAY

Day #6

Welcome to the cult that is the Gizzverse because today's song is Dreams by the Australian genre collecting group King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Dreams is a joyous synth-pop track that glides the listener into a bright odyssey of sound. This song was featured in their 2021 album Butterly 3000 and curates a dreamy, flowing, and uplifting experience using an evolving synth loop. Produced during the pandemic, member Stu Mackenzie stated the album “.. was an escape for us and for me… I'm just going to go live in my fantasy land and make fucking synth loops for a while... We've made a lot of records that are scary. This one isn't.” That desire to generate and indulge in light-hearted soundscapes is felt in the track, and I can't help but smile while listening to it and the rest of the album, it's become one of my happy places.

“I only wanna wake up in my dream

I only feel awake in the night

I only wanna wake up in my dream

I only feel tired in the day”

P.S. A bit about the King Gizz boys: they are quickly becoming Australian alternative music icons, known for their genre-jumping (from metal to jazz to more) and massive library of releases (currently 26 albums, five in 2022 alone). They really do have something for everyone and they have an amazing community of fans. A King Gizz concert was one of my first pits, and despite the heatstroke from that experience, I will always adore them.

I chuckled at myself making this.

Song of the day!!

I've decided to start doing a song of the day and post it here (when I remember) cause why the fuck not and no one cares 🤷‍♀️

It may be interesting to look back on if I keep up with it.

Today is Skanka by Hamdi. It fucking bangs and I like how it kinda lifts mood wise but still goes hard. I found it on TikTok, and it has a similar vibe to another song by them, Push, which is also worth a listen as it’s a colab with Skrillex and is shortlisted for my Tripple J hottest 100.

Watering the moon garden with tar. Started out as a redraw turned into its own thing

I've actually had to start wearing my glasses again because of this fuckery. I like it when the imaginary characters kiss man, what else can I do??
