Quarters! is the sixth studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was originally released on 1 May 2015 on Heavenly Records.
The album features four songs, each running for ten minutes and ten seconds making each song a quarter of the album - hence the title. Drawing upon jazz-fusion and psychedelic rock, the album's more laid-back sound was described as unlike anything they’ve released before and as an album more likely to get your head bobbing and hips shaking as opposed to losing footwear in a violent mosh.
Stu Mackenzie described how the composition of the album came around in an interview in 2015:
"I wanted to make a record where I didn’t have to yell, as well as exploring some longer, repetitive song structures.” Four tracks, four quarters, each one precisely 10:10 minutes long, each one an extended jam teeming with melodies, the occasional trickle of water, space funk, laughter like Pink Floyd and deliciously unfussy grooves."
