I've been wanting to check out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard for a little while now (mainly because I find their name very amusing, to be honest), so last night I tried out one of their newest albums. It sounds quite alright! It was both what I expected and also not what I expected. It sounds kinda weird (in a good way), but I was expecting to sound way weirder. Nothing super-impressive, but good enough that I'd like to give this album more listens. If anyone has any recommendations for other albums from these guys I might like, please let me know.
Check out Omnium Gatherum! Despite the name, it's not a metal album 
, but a very eclectic record. From there you can pick what sound you like the most and delve deeper into that side of their discography - they're very prolific musicians so you'll have fun for quite a while.
I didn't include twosuitluke's post because it takes up more real estate, but that flow chart he linked to is actually pretty cool and spot on.
I'm also obsessed with them, but it took me a good while actually.
My favorites have to be K.G. and L.W., they're companion albums and are both centered around the use of microtonal instruments. I just love those eastern vibes.
And actually Ice, Death Planets (etc.) is a really great recent album by them. One of my favorites as well. However, I think the renditions of some of these tracks in this KEXP session blow the original versions out of the water:

The albums are really cool but they tend to play songs with more energy and heaviness in a live setting. Some of my favorites include Live in Sydney, Live in Melbourne and Live at Bonnaroo, all can be found on youtube.
