Kayo Dot - Coyote

Kayo Dot is an avant-garde group originally from Boston, Massachusetts, United States (now based in Brooklyn, New York) that was formed in 2003 by Toby Driver after the disband of maudlin of the Well. They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn’s Tzadik label that year.

Members: Toby Driver, Mia Matsumiya, David bodie, Dan Means & Terran Olson.

The music of Kayo Dot can not be accurately described by the limiting contemporary genre nomenclatures. Their songs involve complex instrumentation (composed by singer and frontman Driver), generally without refrain. They are substantially longer than typical rock songs, often ranging from 8 to 15 minutes in length.

Kayo Dot’s second album Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue was released in January of 2006.

On May 6 2008, they released their third full-length, Blue Lambency Downward, on Hydra Head Records.

Their new album, recorded in June 2009, named ‘Coyote’, is set to be released on 20 April 2010 on Hydra Head Records.

Grey Waters - Below The Ever Setting Sun

Grey Waters was formed by D. in 2006 originally as a solo project, however it was soon decided that other input should be incorporated to complete the vision in mind; thus saw Tim enter the band. Some rough recordings were made in 2006/2007 but were deemed unsatisfactory for release, and unfortunately what was then to proceed was years of constant delays and problems, which saw many songs re-written, re-re-written & eventually totally scraped all together.

In 2009 new songs were written and with much more determination present from D. to get Grey Waters up and running properly without any compromises. This determination finally paid off and after 3 years of silence Grey Waters finally entered the studio in mid-July 2009 which resulted in the debut EP titled “Below The Ever Setting Sun” released via Eisenwald in February 22nd 2010. The band now has it’s focus on a full-length recording, with the aim for completion in 2010.
