Kayo Dot Press Release is "Go"!!!

[metaghost]

Fresh off of a US tour opening for Trey Spruance's amazing SECRET CHIEFS 3, KAYO DOT has arrived in Seattle to begin recording their second full length release for Hydra Head Industries.

Throughout the tour, they performed and refined the new compositions, bringing them to new audiences and honing them for the upcoming recording, with Toby Driver also picking up bass duties for SECRET CHIEFS 3 each night. The new music features another sonic shift in the ever-evolving sonic lexicon of KAYO DOT. Expect a more visceral rhythmic sound with overdriven chorus basses, cave-echoed horns, vocals and strings, tuned struck metal, and a purveying melodic darkness threaded delicately throughout the sound of the music. Once again, the record will be recorded by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth, Six Organs Of Admittance) who also recorded KAYO DOT'S critically acclaimed Hydra Head release from 2008, BLUE LAMBENCY DOWNWARD. Expect the release of the new music on Hydra Head in Fall of 2009, with a September / October European tour and US tour to follow the album release! - Toby Driver / Kayo Dot

I don't get why they appended Toby's name there. I mean, does he write the band PR? Why be on label if you have to write your own PR? What's an "overdriven chorus [bass]"? Is it that the bass is overdriven during the chorus? Or that Toby bought a chorus pedal AND an overdrive pedal?

At least the darkness is threaded delicately.

nothing about goth fusion in there!

If Toby wrote that press release, about 47% of it would consist of Opeth bashing.

I hope the new album is called "Tuned Struck Metal".

A play on words if I ever did hear such a thing.

It took me almost 10 minutes to understand the perception and genius that was revealed to me.

You guys are too easily impressed, but if it makes you feel better, you can use your influence to get me a dedication on the album. Just like some sort of cover-sized image, placed somewhere convenient like the cover. Mayhap a few references in song titles, just on the songs that were specifically written and inspired directly by me.

look, you've gotta come up with some serious "blow my mind crazy dazy pass the mayonaissy" stuff if you want the cover.

also this was written under the influence of simply lemonade

 

[coolwalking]

Umm.. no, I'm not your lap dog. I was born with a severe case of awesomeness, so that stuff just happens naturally. Just do it anyway...s...

Also, you should send me some of that lemonade because I'm all fascinated with American food recently.

Stultus returns???

stultus is dead

 

[coolwalking]

Pfft.. don't try to reconcile me with what you already know. I may be familiar, but that's just because I'm generic.

calm down stultus

 

[coolwalking]

So does this stultus have any album-cover-getting pull around here? 'Cause I just remembered I'm him.
