It gathers songs that had been knocking around earlier sessions without a home, which gives the whole thing a loose, anything-goes charm. There is no grand concept and no thematic thread, just a band with more ideas than albums to hold them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat freedom suits them. Where later Gizzard records chase microtonal scales and thrash riffs, Oddments keeps things sunny and slightly warped around the edges. \"Vegemite\" is a cheerfully daft ode to the famous Australian spread, and \"Hot Wax\" bounces along on a fuzzy garage strut. Elsewhere, the songs swerve between jangly pop, woozy psych and scrappy rave-ups, often inside a couple of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve songs come and go without overstaying their welcome, and the band sound like they are having a ridiculous amount of fun. For listeners who found the group through the heavier, more conceptual records, this is a charming snapshot of their early garage-pop instincts, and the green vinyl suits its sun-bleached mood nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139118276913,"sku":"823375145622","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/King_Gizzard_and_the_Lizard_Wizard-Oddments_Green.jpg?v=1793087210","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-oddments-green","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
