You’re not wrong, they’re fucking modern rock legends in the making. This is like being a boomer, and growing up watching The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath etc etc etc blow up in their eras and being able to say you were there. Decades from now, there’ll be kids who’ll wish they could’ve seen King Gizzard in their prime. Like we do for the bands I mentioned above and others.
I am honestly shocked that I haven't seen any comments mentioning how genius the animation is! Specifically, how the video is broken into four main parts that each reference one of the four cover motifs. Jason Galea is on another level.
Even better, there is also parts showing the crumbling castle and "third eye" which you can hear of in Tetrachromacy. There are LOTS of references to later works of their songs. I am in love with this band.
+Brock “Berakyah” Davis Perth has a lot of great psych rock I guess, probably the main genre export from our fair little town, so I guess it makes a bit of sense! Kind of wish these guys would relocate, so I'd get to see them more often. That being said, they do tour every few months!
My son loves crocodiles since he was under 2 years old, and this is his favourite video of all time. He still gets so excited when they come along on the two different parts of the video. Just perfect.
Tame Impala, Midnight Juggernauts, Sticky Fingers, Cut Copy, Andy Bull, The Presets, Flume, Flight Facilities and even Jesef Salvat... But Now I just stumble with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard... Australians never cease to amaze me.

I went on a trip with about 8 guys and 3 of them live in a different city but we have mutual friends. All 3 of those guys love this band and they introduced the rest of us to them with this song. I guess it’s great especially if you’re on acid
As much as the king gizz sound progresses I think this is some of their finest work. The middle section always puts me in a trance even when I’m dead sober
Holy shit, scary. Was just going to comment that and saw a few people were on the same wavelength. Brass melodies on Take Five are also very similar to the lead guitars in this song.
i need to say, this song has changed my life, i can not describe the feeling I had when I heard it 3 years ago, and how i feel the same thing, listening today... to me these are the 10 best minutes that music has ever seen!
At 2:55 the zoom-in is in the shape of nonagon. And at 3:48 there are four colours of crocodile. The foreshadowing of their future projects that Jason packs into every music video is astonishing.
How can y'all be so absolutely fucking amazing at every single genre you touch? I can't fucking believe the same band is behind nonagon infinity, sketches, paper maché and murder of the universe god damn i love you all i can't wait to see you live i'm going to be tripping balls
[Verse 1] Once you're in the zone The river flows down like a full stone Water is your bed The ripples cushion your head [Pre-Chorus] I can't believe it, it is frozen It's not the first time, I had noticed She will deliver, I am floating Trust in the river [Chorus] I had floated down, floated down Floated down, floated down Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) [Verse 2] Once you're where I led It will be clear what I have said Float without a home The river flows like another long road [Pre-Chorus] I can't believe it, it is frozen It's not the first time, I had noticed She will deliver, I am floating Trust in the river [Chorus] I had floated down, floated down Floated down, floated down Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Frozen over home The fading light shines on the white stone Melt your little zone And sink into the waterfall flow [Pre-Chorus] I can't believe it, it is frozen It's not the first time, I had noticed She will deliver, I am floating Trust in the river [Chorus] I had floated down, floated down Floated down, floated down Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) Down, down down, down down, down down (The river) [Instrumental]
This animation is so damn satisfying. Anybody know if there’s any specific technique besides just being hand drawn that makes it so flowy and hypnotic? Or anything about the process?
I can honestly say this is the best thing KGATLW has put out to date. Holy shit. Genius. This is pretty much what behind my eyelids looks like when I'm proper stoned. That was so entertaining!!
@Nessun Dorma My Way No if you like the 60s and 70s music how is the river bland and it uses tricks and things that could have never been done back then , plus amazing visuals
8:23 has the same energy as the trip sequences from The Big Lebowski. It's even more fitting because it also kinda looks like those bowling score screen animations.
Listening to this prior to kayaking the St Louis River tomorrow. This song and "Muddy Water" perfectly encapsulate what it's like to be a river rat and I'll forever associate these tunes with my time on the St Louis and Sunrise rivers. That experience can't be replicated with 0's and 1's.
1:14 the Trapdoor is entered, and the beast is shown, followed by Polygonwanaland images, and vultures. This song is literally the setup to every Gizzverse song.
"What genre is this?"
"Psychedelic croc."
underrated comment. Genius
Nice
The best thing about psychedelic rock is that if you listen to it under the proper conditions, you get 30 minutes out of a 10 minute song
And ruin a part of your brain as a bonus.
Woombath Not even true lmao. Where’d you hear that? Church youth group?
@@sedated_ape Or maybe he should just read the papers on this topic. He could start here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0269881114568039
The Supreme Meme same bro
Can confirm through personnal experience
I give this song a rating of 5/4
😂 I see what ya did there
Kemeath Olsbo personally I would give it 10/8
there's no need to be cheeky, mate
10/8 feels totally different
perfect 5/7 rating hands down
I am seriosly convinced that this is the best band of our time. So lucky to witness them
Honestly I'm right there with you.
You’re not wrong, they’re fucking modern rock legends in the making. This is like being a boomer, and growing up watching The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath etc etc etc blow up in their eras and being able to say you were there.

It's cause I can't look at the video and don't know what's going on.
Not to mention the nonagon teasing an album that wasn't released until a year later
It’s called LSD.
@@AdamGzz Not to mention refrences to Float Along, Mind Fuzz, and possibly Oddments and Paper Mache as well
I dont know if I've ever heard a band that seems to love music as much as King Gizzard
the 21st century is the Australian Renaissance of rock n roll
Call it the Renaussie
Planet Jupiter yeah mostly because of Lonerism and innerspeaker I‘d say
That’s weird to say on this song because this is more jazz
Babe Rainbow and Stonefield are pretty great too
i stick everything This is more rock than jazz my friend.
I love it how the song transforms from a 5/4 signature to a 4/4 signature in the last minutes. The same notes are played but it feels so different.
Yeah and after playing in 5/4 for so long, 4/4 feels weirdly unnatural.
the Australian Space Program in action.
shortuf0 God Bless Perth! ;)
Brock Davis These guys are melbournians, but the music scene down under is insane.
I knew that I have no idea why I said that hah
+Brock “Berakyah” Davis Perth has a lot of great psych rock I guess, probably the main genre export from our fair little town, so I guess it makes a bit of sense! Kind of wish these guys would relocate, so I'd get to see them more often. That being said, they do tour every few months!
I'm thankful for the export. ;D
You leave those crocodiles alone, giant blue hand!
Those are aligators
@@whatever7338 nah. They're crocs, king gizzard are from aussie
It’s fine, they hopped in their steel sheet flyers and flew away.
LORD OF LIGHTINING SHIFTS HIS GAZE
I'm pretty sure they got inspired by take five by Dave Brubeck. Especially the live version. It sounds like a Brubeck lick from that performance
8:34 That 3D model crocodile always puts a big smile on my face
I always cry when I see that crocodile, he just make so happy and brings so much joy that I just cry of happiness
Pathetic. Why admit this
Have you guys watched the "Dragon" music video yet? I have a bad news for ya.
@@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435lmao that poor croc. S tier late comment mate
@@creedhansen8581 "S Tier late" lol😂 I think you just forgot to see the date of my reply, it's not even that long from when the MV was uploaded.

this is awesome sauce
I got the crocodile tattooed on my thigh!

What kind of drugs are they putting in Australian water ??? they’ve consistently put out the most amazing psychedelic rock/pop in the last decade
I know
If you google "the river lyrics king gizzard" google will give you THE most hilariously incorrect misheard lyrics I have ever seen in my life
Google also thinks Han Tyumi wants to feel hot chicken nuggets
To whence, you making sun
To make frost a like stoned

I was the crush, I laugh hello!
I jet believed in is frozen
Is the custom, I morrow's she
Want to river. I have flowing
Just to river. I have the flowing down
Down... Down... Down... A the river...
Wants you made a led
And you can crawl and I sad
Found, we are a road
To make a frost, light wall note
I cant believed, in this frozen, is the custom,
I had morrow's she want to liver, I have flowing
Just to river. I have the flowing down

Just to river. I have the flowing down
Down... Down... Down... A the river.
@@BustaShenanigans bruh
i thinks it a right of passage for every good band to produce a 10+ min song
or to produce a 10 minute 10 second long song, and three others that exact length on the same album haha
rite
have we forgotten about Head On/Pill
Nick ward what album is this song on?
JoshTheGreat33 quarters
the one song you can listen too on drugs that makes you think your on drugs when your not on drugs
This is a great song to use when introducing King Gizzard to a friend for the first time. The music and visuals are very appealing.
That's funny, my friend just sent me the link to this song with no context. Guess I know why now.
Nah bro just TRAPDOOR TRAPDOOR TRAPDOOR
I went on a trip with about 8 guys and 3 of them live in a different city but we have mutual friends. All 3 of those guys love this band and they introduced the rest of us to them with this song. I guess it’s great especially if you’re on acid
It's a great song to use when introducing friends to other stuff, too
I was just thinking the same bc this was the first song I heard that made me go "ok... I get it!"
As much as the king gizz sound progresses I think this is some of their finest work. The middle section always puts me in a trance even when I’m dead sober
gotta love that groovy 5/4 time signature
wow, first comment about the actual music...
Yeah, reminds me a lot of Dave Brubeck's Take Five
On that Take 5 vibe
yeah the drum beat is almost perfectly identical
Holy shit, scary. Was just going to comment that and saw a few people were on the same wavelength. Brass melodies on Take Five are also very similar to the lead guitars in this song.
Loved the glimpse of them playing it in the studio
Same what a cool video man
I listened to this 16 times yesterday.
Tanner Palethorpe This comment entirely sums up my love for King Gizz and Tool.
One of the best bands in rock history
I love that “chapow” when the drum starts
Welp, I was sober. I saw this and my brain decided otherwise
This is what I really see when I close my eyes and listen to any kind of music after smoking weed, but 5 times faster.
Jason Galea: The God Of Music Videos
I don´t know why but the alligators made me so happy and in love with this band.............
We love to imagine them from our POV.
The fact that this song is 8 years old now is pretty crazy
7:00 Aw hell naw, spunchbob is in da riber
The crocs are cute
Ikr
Nonagon infinity opens the door, but the river ties it together.
i need to say, this song has changed my life, i can not describe the feeling I had when I heard it 3 years ago, and how i feel the same thing, listening today...
to me these are the 10 best minutes that music has ever seen!
yeeeee
First time I’m hearing this song!
I feel like I’m melting in the best possible way 🌞🎶🤤
YES
pois é amigo, é realmente difícil de entender, mas eu gosto disso.
drugs aside, the music video for this is absolutely unreal.
Very good....many influences from the 60s and 70s...good influences....good music...
Many influences of acids, and phsycodelics
Those alligators do be running tho
At 2:55 the zoom-in is in the shape of nonagon. And at 3:48 there are four colours of crocodile. The foreshadowing of their future projects that Jason packs into every music video is astonishing.
I just realised this is 10 minutes long, holy fuck I'm in heaven
Hex yeaahs
i would give this ong a 5/4 if it was ON SPOTIFY GODDAMMIT
Croc in da plane
0:28 anyone who watches this on acid will never forget that part lol
How can y'all be so absolutely fucking amazing at every single genre you touch? I can't fucking believe the same band is behind nonagon infinity, sketches, paper maché and murder of the universe
god damn i love you all i can't wait to see you live i'm going to be tripping balls
Reminds me of the imaginary world I invented as a kid... If I watch this one more time I might never be back
Whoa
[Verse 1]
Once you're in the zone
The river flows down like a full stone
Water is your bed
The ripples cushion your head
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe it, it is frozen
It's not the first time, I had noticed
She will deliver, I am floating
Trust in the river
[Chorus]
I had floated down, floated down
Floated down, floated down
Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
[Verse 2]
Once you're where I led
It will be clear what I have said
Float without a home
The river flows like another long road
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe it, it is frozen
It's not the first time, I had noticed
She will deliver, I am floating
Trust in the river
[Chorus]
I had floated down, floated down
Floated down, floated down
Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Frozen over home
The fading light shines on the white stone
Melt your little zone
And sink into the waterfall flow
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe it, it is frozen
It's not the first time, I had noticed
She will deliver, I am floating
Trust in the river
[Chorus]
I had floated down, floated down
Floated down, floated down
Floated down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
Down, down down, down down, down down (The river)
[Instrumental]

Thank you!
Now please teach that to Google
There's the comment. Your a UA-cam blessing. ❤
why are the crocodiles SO CUTE
Spongebob Squarepants at 7:00
I notice. Great Band
That little yellow plane really ties the video together.
This animation is so damn satisfying. Anybody know if there’s any specific technique besides just being hand drawn that makes it so flowy and hypnotic? Or anything about the process?
This song is amazingly beautiful that it makes you cry tears of happiness.
My friend showed me this band. Wow. I love this.
This song is a trip down the river :)
I can honestly say this is the best thing KGATLW has put out to date. Holy shit. Genius. This is pretty much what behind my eyelids looks like when I'm proper stoned. That was so entertaining!!
fine music
I’ve never seen anything like this in my head while high of weed. Only while tripping.
Proper stoned idk who u are but I'm tripping balls and I'm just thinking of some English guy saying proper stoned. I love you keep being you
and then nonagon infinity came
How’s all the new king gizzard?
This song it's a master peace, i dont know why this band still being an "underground band"
Beacause they don't want to be forced to appeal to mainstream audiences
Because if they sell out you won't like their music anymore. And they will have to lie and shit.
@Nessun Dorma My Way No if you like the 60s and 70s music how is the river bland and it uses tricks and things that could have never been done back then , plus amazing visuals
@No Homo Sapiens bruh how is this bland?

HOW IS THIS BELOW 1MILLION VIEWS THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE ONE DAY KING GIZZARD WILL RULE ALL AND THE LIZARD WIZARD WILL BE WATCHING
Was like "What's up with the crocs?" Then I scrolled a bit. "Ah. Australian. Right."
Probably my fave song ever. Go the Gizz.
I have Grateful Dead type-ish admiration.
yea i was getting eyes of the world and Darkstar vibes durin that jam
First time hearing this. Immediately realize they are doing their (musically only, not lyrical) take on Dave Brubek's jazz classic, Take Five.
>claims to be “Flightless” Records
>literally has an alligator flying a plane
listening to this high has some interesting effects
I feel twice as gone cause of this video
Right?! Lol
Try watching it on lsd lmao
Def kicks it in, GREAT video! Cheers Jason Galea
I comfirm
Didn't think I'd see an alligator flying a biplane tonight.
any praise for this Godly song is less.. absolutely love this amazing song from King Gizzard.. :-)
Im so amazed with that crocs
Seeing this on a massive projection screen at a live gig sure was a trip
Jfc

now i must admit im VERY stoned but hte crocodile flying on the areoplane was pretty funny man like why is the crocodile in the areoplane?!

Music and video kinda reminds me of the weird Sesame Street shorts growing up in the 70s! But in a good way lol
I didn't want this video to stop and there was something so satisfying in not knowing when it would.
4:40 guys gizzverse is real
Um jazz lo+fi progressivo psicodélico.
GENIAL!
This song fits perfectly with the summer vibes of Rio de Janeiro!! Love the 12-string in this song!
AUDIOVISUAL Masterpiece!
I don’t even wanna smoke my joint to this!
I’m high off the visuals and the sound 🌞
They come out of nowhere like having studio footage was invented by them
That time change and guitar riff at the end is fucking sublime 👌
Gotta respect that Bossa Nova rythym. Gotta respect the brazillian groove!
Love playing this song on guitar and piano!
anyone else notice the nonagon opening the door before the crocodiles come in ?
Clapping Thunder did you notice that at 5:40 we enter the inner cell thus giving the effects of the crumbling castle vid from polygondwanaland
What if 1:45 is hypnotism and is a reference to I'm in your mind fuzz?
Crocs climb the stalk and plant the bean.
Floating eyes look like “Fishing for Fishes”
1:14 the Trapdoor is entered, and the beast is shown, followed by Polygonwanaland images, and vultures. This song is literally the setup to every Gizzverse song.
I like this....strong hints of Caravan

This song, album and artwork are beautiful peices of art to be cherished. Bravo king gizzard 🥲
England used to have the best music, and then came Australia
>USA
cute
America lel
Lmao why is this a nation thing now. Who gives a shit
you know what man, I will swallow any pride and say that in 2018, Australia is making the best rock / psych rock right now.
In late 60s and 70s Prog and Psych Rock was pretty popular in Turkey but it 1980 coup it ended. search channel Anatollian Rock Revival Project.
Holy god how is this band so good?
240p makes this video so much better
You have select the correct path into the unknown. . .
pussy go 144p lol
hehehehe no no
noo...
not
not at all hehehe
144p and at 1.25 speed is amazing.
One of the best songs of all time
Thank you for everything King Gizz
This may just cure my opioid addiction
amazing band , guitar jams a plenty , check out other australian psych bands the Murlocs, Babe Rainbow , The Dandelion
The Murlocs are awesome
King Weeng and the Chicken Wing
the dashing crocs give me a great sense of enjoyment
Just saw this live and I cant help but experience it again. Amazing live guys.
I hope you guys make multi-millions, I really do
