KAYO DOT

SATURDAY

Kayo Dot is an American band led by Toby Driver, renowned for their avant-garde fusion of post-rock, progressive metal, jazz, and classical music. Their sound blends complex time signatures, dissonant melodies, and atmospheric textures, creating immersive and experimental compositions. Their debut album, Choirs of the Eye (2003), is a progressive metal landmark, while albums like Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue (2006) and Blue Lambency Downward (2008) see the band exploring more ambient and jazz-influenced territory. Subsequent albums, such as Plastic House on Base of Sky (2015), have continued their exploration of intricate, boundary-pushing music that challenges genre conventions.
