- Quite a few people enjoyed my short analysis of Shanghai by the Gizz boys, so I decided to make a similar video on Catching Smoke.
Here's the original song mv, please go check it out: • King Gizzard & The Liz...
Here's the KEXP performance I used: • King Gizzard & The Liz...
I hope you enjoy! :)
hey everyone! if you'd like to see me analyze any other song, please tell me here in the comments! love you all
Any song from Polygondwanna would be awesome
Please just keep doing this with literally any King Gizz song and I’ll be more than happy. I’ll watch every single vid, I promise you.
Nuclear Fusion is such a dynamic and interesting songs
Fantastic vid! An alternative title could be "Why king gizzard probably will never play one of their best songs live" lmao I can't imagine how hard it is to practice these polyrhythmms
true, I sometimes struggle to keep up with some of the parts, like when the bass and the drums start to play haha
thank you for watching!
they've played ataraxia lmao, I think most of it is due to lack of synths in their live gear
This is my favourite King Gizzard song ever. Fell in love with it the day it came out and still can't get it out of my head. It's like a virus, it stays and never leaves. Hear it once and you'll be humming all day. Funny thing is, first time you hear it is catchy, silly, funny, and comes off as a mindless even pop-dancey tune but the more you listen to it, the more layers you discover and the deeper and more complex it gets. It truly is a masterpiece.
100 agree
Watched it on 'cid with some friends recently, we freaked out how they do not have eyebrows on the video. But what a track!
as a bassist and drummer - I immediately got hooked into this song. usually rather than counting subdivisions I just memorise the feel of a KG song (same with bands like Tool) but Catching Smoke is just too intense for that because of the layered time signatures
That section right before the second verse always gets me. Keeping that specific bass drum pattern going while adding that simple polyrhythm over top sounds fantastic. But its an absolute nightmare to play.
Cavs is a legitimate monster to be able to play that
hot take this album is their technical masterpiece (so far). much more technically impressive than polygondwanaland imo but also never feels complex for the sake of being complex like poly does sometimes.
I fully agree! although I enjoy their "psychedelic" and microtonal sound a bit more (K.G. is one of my favorites) but this album feels more like a band integrating the complexity in a more "musical" way
lmao no
Nah, I really can't agree with this. Polygondwanaland has a lot more technically difficult passages, signatures, poly rhythms, and scales. Most of butterfly3000 is pentatonic and 4/4 with off-meter bars of 3/4 or 5/4 at the end. Some of the songs have a poly-rhythm with the drums underneath but it's nothing that we didn't hear on KG and LW.
B3K was an impressive album, but doesn't have the range or technical prowess that poly does. I'd even argue nonagon had more technically intense passages.
@@basspuppy133 exactly.
B3K initially started as poly 2
Great analysis here. This song might be the ultimate example of prog meeting pop and the two complementing each other. I’m blown away by the tension created by this most playfully of approaches. No one does serious fun like King Gizz. This is their method.
one of my favorite bits is at 4:49 (in the track) when the classic gizz crunch guitar joins the bassline, oddly heavy segment for a mostly chill song.
I NEVER NOTICED that the main melody goes out of sync in that part near the end!!!!!!! Your Gizz vids are great
My brain hurts. Amazing. Thank you or the break down. The Gizz are really something!
their creativity is incomparable! thank you for stopping by
Absolutely loved this video as well as the Shanghai video! Having someone explain to me the technicalities behind my favourite band is so cool. Would love to see more gizz analysis!
Thank you so much! I'll for sure make more of them, so please feel free to suggest any songs you wanna see
@@jae_lee- I’ve always been interested in how they make that unique psychedelic sound in Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer!
Thank you - words cannot express how much I love this song. The drummer in me always counts the snare (backbeat) as being the 2 and 4, so instead of 33, I feel it as 4 bars of 4/4 with an extra 8th note for the last bar. And when the vocals come in - I feel them as 3/8. I think it can be notated so many ways. King Gizzard are geniuses. I love how Cavs times his fills at “president” and “paranoid.” The complexity of the second verse is killer. Would to see you do Black Hot Soup - rhythmically it is even crazier to me.
This was so interesting to watch! I’ve never paid attention to the technical side of this song, I just listened to it and thought rhythms were a bit strange and complicated. It was really nice to know what’s actually going on and you did a great job at explaining it!
Thanks Stella! I'm so glad you enjoyed it
My love for this song just deepened. So, so cool.
thank you!
Amazing work my friend! Anytime I talk about numbers in music people usually just nod their head and say yeah…mhmm…right…cool… because it suddenly makes the song boring to them.
So, as a musician… I truly appreciate people like you doing the dirty work and educating those who actually want to be educated to appreciate the true talent behind the songs they love!
Liked AND subscribed!
Fantastic analysis! I wonder if King Gizzard created such complex structure intentionally.
Maybe maybe not who knows with them, like they seem like your average people in a band but at the same time they’re like musical geniuses
100%. From experience, you can’t write this kinda stuff by accident.
Very cool!! Love this kind of videos, do more!!
cool shit man! love this short but deep analysis type vid!!
Loved your shanghai video and was so excited to see this pop up about another great song. Another commenter brought up a great point about polygondwanaland but I’d love to hear your analysis on one of the songs off that album
Love this band. Universal!!
Such an amazing album and a great breakdown of the song! Ill have to check out another
Brilliant work!!!!!
Dude you rule! Very good videos analyzing KGLW thank you!!
Great job!
Nice work
Thank you this song is so good
hey! great stuff - loved it!
i was thinking of making a video making the claim that butterfly 3000 is a spiritual successor to polygondwanaland, but then i got lazy and never got around to it. great to see you doin the work and shining a light on some of the album's hidden depths.
PS. one fun thing i noticed about 'yours' is how the vocal melody is literally the main synth melody at half speed without the bottom notes
oops meant to say quarter speed
Hey that's true, I totally forgot to mention it, nice catch! and oh, I wish and encourage people to make videos like this, it's very informative, not only for an audience, but for yourself, I've learned so much music theory only by remaking and analyzing these songs for videos, haha
Thanks for stopping by!
Great breakdown. Thanks! Sorry about your Leafs. Hey, they made it to the 2nd round, though! Enjoy the Gizz.
small correction: "[...] they could pick any number *divisor* of 33 [...]"
Great vid thanks
Nice video and funny dog c:
thank you.
Wonderfull vídeo tnx
bruh
what a structured chaos
Funny thing is, this is the song that got me into the band
Second song for me. “Lord of Lightning” came first. Gave me whiplash
Hi I'm a drummer thanks for the breakdown! I've always been curious about the time signature of Red Room by Hiatus Coyote ?
One of their best songs imo
hey man cool video butt i wanna know what plugins or vst you used in this video?
Great video! Can you analyse "Gaia"? (also from King gizzy)
It's 100% happening, I just can't tell when it's gonna be released, but stay tuned!
Can you do “Yours” from this same album?
Could you analyze The Wind by PJ Harvey? There's an interesting Jools Holland session where she has the guitar rhythm replicated on drums.
Amazing deep dive! Now do polygondwanaland!
I'm gonna sound stupid here but I've never been able to really figure out time signatures unless it's something really obvious like 4/4 or 3/4. People keep telling me to just "listen to the 'pulse' of the song", and while I get what's meant by that and have sucsessfully figured out some time signatures by listen to the bassline of a given song I can't for the life of me figure stuff out in a case like this where there isn't a clear 'pulse'. It's VERY frustrating for me because it seems to be second nature for so many people, including close friends of mine. How do you even do it??
You have to try to find the "1". So if 1, 2, 3, 4 doesn't really work out great (the accents seem all random), then probably try counting to 3 instead. If that doesn't work either, you can try counting to 5. However, there are songs (like "pyramid song ~ radiohead") that are in 4/4 but just have very weird accenting, which makes it very hard to figure out.
Like Tool but Happy :)
Send this into space and you will get your reply.
Has Justin Hawkins seen this?
I sure wish he would!
@@jae_lee- He has fellas!
No thanks, I don't need some college boy music theory hipster telling me what to think about music. If I like it, it's good. If I don't, it's not. Simple as.
You have a point but the video is still cool as a look into the way they composed it. Nobody's saying you have to know all this to like the song or not
yes I am indeed a college boy music theory hipster I have not seen the sunlight in 14 months. thanks for the view tho
It's way more interesting than I think? Tbh I don't think it's that interesting sorry... I know it's a fan favourite but I don't really care for it just because it adds an extra beat every 4 bars and is more complicated than it sounds because that pretty much describes every Gizz song.
They are a musicians’ musicians… as they say
You're not wrong at all! It just depends on what you define as "interesting", or "different". All in all, this video just serves as a fun way of analyzing the song :)
