The Earth is Melting Down

Song: Melting
Artist: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Album: Flying Microtonal Banana (2017)

My favorite track off their album "Flying Microtonal Banana" in which they explored microtonal instrumentation, sonically inspired by traditional turkish music, and using microtonal scales commonly heard in arabic/oriental music.

The background design is constructed of different microtone note symbols and the men in the corner display a likeness to a traditional turkish man and the frontman of King Gizzard, Stu Mackenzie (respectively).

The two instruments being played by the men in the corners are the yellow custom microtonal guitar used by Stu on the album and the middle eastern acoustic string instrument: the oud.
