King Gizzard are well known for their usage of odd time signatures, polyrhythms and polymeters so today we are going to take a better look at how these methods are used in their 2017 album "Polygondwanaland".
I've used Moises app to help analyze this album. Their stem separation tool is terrific for getting rid of or isolating instruments from tunes. With this app, you can also find chords, and alter the key or the tempo of a tune, amongst other features that make it a fantastic tool for finding out or evaluating tunes.

I see King Gizz, I press like
LETS GO DAVID MADE ANOTHER GIZZ VID WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have plenty of clues in my Spotify likes. However places like this is where I get insanely good recommendations. Keep up the amazing work
How incredible is it that King Gizz released this album into the public domain and also made 4 other albums in 2017.
It was an interesting time…
A lot of music had to come out
The personal observation I’ve made with these time signatures is that 7/4 and 7/8 somehow sound more normal and more natural than 5/4 and 5/8; it feels to me as if 7/4 is to 5/4 as 4/4 is to 3/4. What I’ve noticed in the examples here though is that King Gizzard has a talent for actually making 4/4 sound like an odd meter whenever it appears!
I’m a 70’s Rocker and this is YES On STERIODS.
LOVE IT!
More like Daevid Allen and Gong than Yes.
I got some Caravan vibes on some songs, although Caravan don’t go as crazy with the rhythms.
Good topic, nice vid
Unoddly enough, searching is still one of my favourite songs. Like, in general. I just love these semi-slow paced simple beats with monotonous voice and some polymetre bass and percussion in the background.
Really enjoyed this video, David! I’ve been a KGLW fan for about 5 years now (as my pfp would indicate) so I was excited to see this in my feed! BTW, for a future odd time signature analysis, I suggest checking out “Question!” by System of a Down, which uses 4 different time signatures throughout its 3-minute duration.
KING GIZZARD MENTIONED
also Mr. Beat would be a really cool song to analyze, as its rhythm is really interesting consisting of a 29/4 groove
Isn’t it just 7/4 with every 4th bar being 4th bar being 8/4?

Gizz inspired me to make a 9/8 song it’s now one of my most favourite time signatures to use when I want a strange feel
obrigado por colocar legendas em português, david
Thanks! This was a riveting video. Love the complexity and creativity of their music and your presentation.
I can tell these guys are slowly becoming one of your favorite bands
For second I thought the song in the credits of this video was a song by King Gizzard that I had never heard before, but it turned out to be by David! Great song and great video!
Thank you 😊
More king gizzard WOO
That’s a superb job! It’s not that trivial to figure out these polyrhythms/polymeters so easily! It takes time (at least for me) Kudos!
please do a video on Petro Dragonic!
we’re gonna get there!
Genuinely really cool how you worked the sponsor into the video itself! And King Gizzard is a band I’ve been meaning to get into for a while, this is a great reminder!
