Jay Watson is a super busy man right now. We chose the song ‘Why Won’t They Talk To Me?’ because it’s very pretty and we think it’s underplayed. It was at an outdoor venue and people had climbed the trees around to watch. They were the first band I ever saw live. They are a psychedelic explosion of sound in a good way. From there I started listening to the rest of their music and fell in love. My drum teacher introduced me to Tame Impala. – Finn ‘Why Won’t They Talk To Me?’ Tame Impala ‘Into My Arms’ is a soulful song that has beautiful lyrics, singing, and piano arrangements. Keep an ear out for that cheeky (and amazing!) chord change at 2:16. The playfulness of the groove is what stands out most about this track, and ‘Molasses’ is a perfect example of the band’s ability to effortlessly intertwine various styles and atmospheres in a single song. ‘Molasses’ was the first song I ever heard by them, and by the time the song was done I was utterly floored by the profound, poetic lyrics and flawless musicality. No one does soulful, groovy and fresh quite like Hiatus Kaiyote. Oh my god I love this band! – Jack ‘Molasses’ Hiatus Kaiyote All of this musical madness crumbles shall we say, into an epic doom metal-esque conclusion in 7/2 time. It’s heavily influenced by musical elements from the Middle East, prog rock, and psychedelia, but offers its own unique sound. ‘Crumbling Castle’ – the opening track from Polygondawandaland – is an epic 11-minute piece full of whacked-out time signatures, microtonality, harmonised 12-string guitar leads, chanting, heavenly flutes, and arpeggiated keyboards. Their seven members ludicrously pumped put five incredible albums in 2017, rivalling the output of Zappa or Buckethead.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are probably the most prolific band in the world right now. ‘Crumbling Castle’ King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard With the release of their debut EP Scout, each band member – Finn, Malcolm Craig, Ayla Tesler-Mabe, and Jack Anderson – picks out their favourite Aussie tracks from present and past. And so do his bandmates in Vancouver four-piece Calpurnia. Fun fact: Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things loves Aussie music.
