from Robotic Empire:

Kayo Dot: the newest and maybe the most epic band to join Robotic Empire's roster. It is an absolute privilege to be working with this eight-piece beast of a band as their debut album Choirs of the Eye is quite possibly one of the most creative and unique heavy releases in existence, aptly with its release on John Zorn's prolific Tzadik label. Robotic Empire is extremely proud and excited to welcome them to the label and absolutely cannot wait for the fall release of their to-be-titled sophomore album. Almost impossible to justly put into words, Kayo Dot is both difficult to call a metal band and difficult to not call a metal band, blending a wide array of haunting atmospheric elements with ultimately unreal and massive climaxes. Not quite in the soft-loud-soft way that many powerful bands operate (Godspeed, Mogwai, etc.) but more akin to classical compositions. Regardless, it's absolutely enthralling music and we are excited for you to hear this incredible band. We will have the Choirs of the Eye CD in our Online Store soon, but until then you can download the first song here.

that's the way I'm feeling, if it's even 75% of what Choirs is. I hope this projection is accurate and not way optimistic.

and we haven't heard about Greg's solo stuff yet.

Excellent news, I'm not sure why they decided to leave Tzadik so quickly after being so enthused by signing with them but a new album this year makes that irrelevant.

it might not have been their decision, or maybe there were factors we're unaware of. it's interesting that Toby's solo CD will be on Tzadik.
