Jazz Mountain

Let's open the door to Nonagon Infinity once again and go back to that sinister, far off world known as Polygondwanaland. It's a place where you'll meet many strange creatures, encounter countless dangers, and hear strange musical sounds- some that might kill you, some that might save you. And beware, there's an evil cyborg and boogiemen on the loose. So, follow your spirit guide DJ Benzen, along with your 6 Heroes, to see if you can get out alive. And you can at least be sure to rage face along the way. Come join us on this wild, perilous ride! This is Jazz Mountain.

Ready to get transported to an alternate dimension? If you're up for a sinister adventure, join DJ Benzen as he becomes your spirit guide to a vast, mysterious, and strange far-off world. It's a land full of cyborgs, lizards, people vultures, lords of lightning, and altered beasts. It's a place where you'll hear many tantalizing and sinister sounds, with microtonal melodies, dance beats, and head-baging jams. This is the vast universe of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and Jazz Mountain takes you there in this special edition episode. Get ready to boogie! Let's gooooo!!
