    King Gizzard's Polygondwanaland. Really good album, wacky and weird, like how progrock should be. Favorite songs are Crumbling Castle and Inner Cell. It's an album that was released fully open...

    King Gizzard's Polygondwanaland. Really good album, wacky and weird, like how progrock should be.

    Favorite songs are Crumbling Castle and Inner Cell.

    It's an album that was released fully open source, so you can just download all the masters off of their website, and they also have vinyl masters for free which allows record labels to press vinyl records of it, so l got once of those.

    Quality is amazing which makes it one of my favorite records.

      I can not believe King Gizzard's range and output. They manage to churn out so many diverse albums and pretty much maintain the same level of quality across all of them!

    This week I've been listening to a lot of Sybreed which is sort of progressive/industrial metal.

    I have also fallen down a bit of a black metal hole. I'm feeling Abbath's new stuff. If anybody has any suggestions on other bands, let me know!

    I can never help myself from going back to the album Hazel English - Just Give In / Never Going Home. There's something I love about the hazy vocals and pleasant instrumentals; I find it puts me at ease, despite the lyrics being on the darker side for some songs. Then again, I often ignore lyrics entirely.

    I guess you'd call it dream pop or chillwave? I wish I knew more artists within this subgenre. A similar artist I like a lot is Turnover.

    Thank You Scientists just put out Terraformer, which I’m giving a deep listen to right now. It’s jazzy prog-metal, and has some interesting tonal changes from their previous album.

    So far Chromology is the standout track by a long shot: it’s funky, jazzy, and just plain fun. It reminds me of Native Construct’s Chromatic Aberration a bit.

    I've been listening to The Flaming Lips' Embryonic and Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Sex & Food.

    The flaming lips are one of my favorite bands and I've just really been feeling Embryonic lately, there isn't much that sounds like it. I think my favorite songs from it right now are The Sparrow Looks up at the Machine and The Ego's Last Stand

    I've recently started listening to UMO and got to see them live this week! The coolest song live was probably American Guilt but just listening to the album I also like Chronos Feasts On His Children and Ministry of Alienation. A lot of people really like Honeybee but it doesn't really do it for me.
