Boogie is the key term both in style for this album and in the title of many songs. They farm Steely Dan’s dreamy, light and breezy vibes on “The Bird Song” and The Knack on “This Thing,” which twists into an irresistible swinging boogie. The latter starts aggressive, but drops into some Partridge Family trip.Īt least the Gizz’s pillaging is of quality material. Take the title track for example, which opens the album with the rapid party drums of Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz,” or “Real’s Not Real,” which could, for a split second, be mistaken for the Beatles’ “Revolution.” The former retains the shuffling drums, but the melody that sits on top has is ethereal, more Charlotte Gainsbourg than anything else. There are referential moments to instantly identifiable classic rock and soul songs at the start of most of the songs on Fishing for Fishies. Previous albums have been either one long, aimless jam, or too many disconnected ideas trying to fit in the same space. This year-at least so far-there is Fishing for Fishies ,The Gizz’s most cohesive and coherent album yet. Two albums a year is de rigueur, and in 2017 they released five albums. Since 2010, the Australian septet has released 14 albums. Prolific is a definite understatement when it comes to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
