Loosen up
Time to drop
Fuck shit up
Don’t forget about it

‘Nonagon Infinity opens the door’, this self-mythologising nod to Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception plunges you straight into the album – a faster, more intense frontier of Heavy-Psych. The phrase also became the first big meme in the KGLW fan base, who were now galvanized in song for the first time with a title: the ‘Weirdo Swarm’.

In several ways the sequel to I’m In Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity was the next big international breakthrough since that album. As well as doubling down on a signature sound for the band, it was also the first true full-length concept record, successfully completing an idea abandoned during the recording of I’m In Your Mind Fuzz.

The record is titled for this concept, featuring nine songs that all seamlessly transition (including the last track back into the first), forming an endless loop. This cycle is signified by the nonagon on the album artwork, superimposed over the mountain castle also from the I’m In Your Mind Fuzz cover, defining it as the linchpin of the Gizzverse – the scene now beginning to draw significance akin to several other pivotal high-grounds, such as those found in the universes of Stephen King, J.R.R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, and even Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain.

What to listen to next:

• If you want the next Gizzverse album (heavier and more conceptual)
• If you want the album that best precedes this
• If you prefer less fuzz and more prog
• If you want more energy and a heavier sound
• If you want high energy and even more fuzz
