The first album from KAYO DOT after the end of Toby Driver and company's other unique creation
Maudlin Of The Well. Unlike that band this is a lot more experimental and well... strange. It's less
about juxtoposing diverse genres side by side and more about mangling them up into an appropriate
fusion. The result is something that I like better as it sounds more refined. Not sure what the
influences are here but to me it sounds like a fusion of Krautrock, black metal, abstract classical
and some freak folk with occasional avant-jazzy horns. Basically a complex and highly layered
atmospheric experience that sounds like nothing else i've heard.This is one of those albums that you have to be in the right mood for. If you're not then it's jarring and irritating. There have been times I tried to listen to this and had to take it off immediately. If you are in the right frame of mind, this is a satisfying listen. The music is so airy and free that it's like a ride on the ethers. In fact i feel kinda like a little dandelion seed that has been whisked away from the parent plant and aimlessly directed in the gentle wind with intermittant violent eddies taking me on a different course. I can't say I like to listen to this very often but when I have the urge to take a musical journey of the avant-garde then this is one that can take me down the rabbit hole.
