Can’t go wrong w Nonagon to start but also look for “Bootleg Gizzard” on Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp to find their live shows and get the full experience
Worth mentioning whatever you do, go in with no expectations/an open mind. Sometimes it's noisy as hell, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's heavy, sometimes it's acoustic, sometimes it's edm, sometimes it tells a story!
Nonagon and Mind Fuzz are excellent starting points
See i think this is why i love what I've heard so far. Between Robot Stop and the Dripping Tap it covers such a wide range and is so unique I can't help but want to hear more
honestly just pick the album where your favorite track of the 3 comes from and listen to that. from there, go by album cover; their covers decently depict the soundscape you will experience: dark? probably some metal influence. light covers like butterfly 3k? lighter synthpop, less guitar-driven
also, their live shows from last year in the US are (for the most part) all on youtube! pick a show basically at random or by setlist checks @ https://kglw.net/setlists/kglw with the tracks you liked on first or second listen. if a whole show is a bit much, their KEXP sessions on youtube are also great
