Kayo Dot is an avant-garde music ensemble formed in 2003 by multi-instrumentalist and composer Toby Driver after the disbandment of the progressive metal band Maudlin of the Well. Known for their eclectic blend of genres, Kayo Dot's music incorporates elements of metal, jazz, classical, and experimental rock, making them difficult to categorize but widely regarded for their innovative and boundary-pushing work. Over the years, the band has undergone several lineup changes, with Driver remaining the constant driving force behind the group's evolving sound. Kayo Dot has released numerous critically acclaimed albums, such as "Choirs of the Eye" and "Hubardo," and continues to captivate audiences with their complex and atmospheric compositions.
