King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have been changing their sound constantly since they began as a a band, to the point where this variety is one of the defining attributes of the band.

First album they released was garage/surf rock. To prevent being typecast as a garage rock band their next album was a narrated, spaghetti-western style story album. Since then, they have done psychedelic and progressive rock, thrash metal, acoustic folk, synthpop/dream pop, jazz fusion, microtonal/Turkish rock, two Beastie Boys style tracks, sludge/doom metal, boogie rock, krautrock, and more.

Once you've explored enough of their music and get a sense of their sound you start to notice common styles and characteristics, but it can still be hard sometimes to believe their entire discography is one band.
