Their 2016 album was a masterpiece of hard rock psychedelia. As the name of the album indicates this record could go on forever. The final track feeds straight back into the first, so if you were to play this on a loop you might never escape. Although album flow isn't high up on the agenda of many bands in the mainstream these days, King Gizzard made it a priority when it came to the crafting of this record. The mix was perfectly tailored to ensure the listener experiences the songs in a fluid continuum.

It's pedal to the metal from the first millisecond, with high energy drums and layered guitars that add a wealth of texture. The recurring lyrics "Nonagon Infinity opens the door" pops up from time to time across the album, which often results in some confusion as to how long you've been listening for, but that's all part of the experience. Once you enter this audible vortex there's no escape.
