Description
"King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard with Mild High Club's 'Sketches of Brunswick East,' released in 2017, is a fascinating foray into the realm of psychedelic jazz fusion. This collaboration album stands out in both bands' discographies for its experimental nature and seamless blend of genres. The album is an auditory journey through a kaleidoscope of sounds, showcasing the musicians' versatility and creativity.
The album opens with 'Sketches of Brunswick East I,' setting a dreamy and contemplative tone. The track features a mellow, jazz-infused melody complemented by subtle psychedelic touches. This introductory piece serves as a perfect gateway into the album's eclectic and whimsical world.
'Sketches of Brunswick East II,' continues the theme, weaving in more complex arrangements and a broader range of instruments. The track demonstrates the bands' ability to create a cohesive sound while experimenting with structure and rhythm. The result is a captivating blend of jazz, psychedelia, and a touch of folk.
'Countdown,' one of the album's highlights, showcases a more structured approach to songwriting. The track features catchy melodies, harmonious vocals, and a rhythmic groove that makes it one of the more accessible songs on the album. The integration of flute and keyboard adds a unique flavor, enhancing the track's psychedelic vibe.
'D-Day' and 'Tezeta' are examples of the album's seamless genre fusion. 'D-Day' is a playful, upbeat track with a whimsical melody that feels both retro and fresh. 'Tezeta' is a more laid-back, dreamy song, with its soothing melody and soft vocals creating a sense of nostalgia and tranquility.
The collaborative nature of the album shines through in tracks like 'The Spider And Me.'

'The Book,' another standout track, delves deeper into psychedelic territory with its experimental structure and hypnotic rhythms. The song's unconventional approach to melody and timing exemplifies the album's adventurous spirit.
One of the album's most intriguing aspects is its fluidity. The tracks seamlessly flow into one another, making 'Sketches of Brunswick East' feel like a continuous, cohesive piece rather than a collection of individual songs. This quality gives the album a cinematic feel, as if guiding the listener through a series of interconnected musical scenes.
In terms of production, the album maintains a balance between clarity and lo-fi charm. The subtle use of reverb and effects adds depth to the sound without overwhelming the intricate arrangements and musicianship.
In conclusion, 'Sketches of Brunswick East' is a mesmerizing blend of jazz, psychedelia, and experimental rock. The album is a testament to the artistic chemistry between King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Mild High Club. It's a rich, immersive listening experience that rewards repeat listens, revealing new layers and nuances each time. The album stands as a shining example of modern psychedelic music, pushing the boundaries of genre and showcasing the endless possibilities of collaborative creativity."
