Gumboot Soup is the fifth album of 2017 from King Gizzard. A ‘collection of songs’ is the most accurate description for this album. Gumboot Soup isn’t held together by any semblance of a concept, leading many to dub it a sequel to their 2014 hotchpotch Oddments. Still, there is one relatively consistent element: Gumboot Soup is Gizz’s most thorough embrace of melody ever, with the band going all in on infectious psych-pop tunes.
