STOP THE PRESSES NEW KAYO DOT ALBUM DETAILS We've been keeping a bit quiet about this one ever since our concert of new material on October 5, which we recorded for the sake of turning into an official release. For all of you that were there, thanks for showing your support and participating! Here are the release details: The album contains four songs, runs a little under half an hour, and is entitled Gamma Knife. It was recorded by Toby Driver and Jeremiah Cymerman. It's going to be mixed by Randall Dunn shortly at the end of November, and released IMMEDIATELY after mastering - so, mid-December. Let's say December 16. If you're one of those weird impatient types that makes your best-of-the-year lists before December is over, well, shame on you. This immediate album release I mentioned is going to be the digital-only version, self-released by the band, without the help of a label. It'll be available on our own website, iTunes, eMusic, etc. etc. And the hardcopy version is going to come just in time for our May 2012 USA tour, possibly through a label. So, look for that sometime in April. The lineup: Live ensemble: Toby Driver - bass, guitar, keys, and vox. Terran Olson - alto sax. Dan Means - alto sax. Keith Abrams - drums. Tim Byrnes and Ron Varod - audience direction. with: Mia Matsumiya - violin. David Bodie - percussion. Once again featuring lyrics by the inimitable Jason Byron. |

I have a hunch this could be the most intense stuff they have ever released. I'm expecting something in the way of "Twins Eating Fer De Lance"... I also believe the length won't be a problem.

I doubt it, we dont start voting until January and most people wont supply anything like a final list until the last week of voting in the middle of February, and its been like that for several years now. For a full album a sub 30 minute run time, particularly as they were recorded from a couple of live shows that I expect lasted over an hour each, is a bit short and underwhelming, but I get the feeling that it will be the most intense thing they've ever done. I just hope I'm not left with the feeling that they could have done more. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

It is indeed a very intense listen. Excellent stuff, on par with anything they've done in the past, and HEAVY. Yes, you read correctly. There's screaming vocals, distorted guitars, and all the fantastic Kayo Dot progressive/experimental attributes we've come to know and love. Here's Toby's thoughts on the shorter run times: "What's an EP? According to wikipedia, it's something under 25 minutes... which this is not. Anyway, it's pretty much an archaic notion; with digital releases now, there's no reason for anything to stick to any sort of standard of running time. We're probably only going to release shorter records from now on for the foreseeable future, because it allows us to produce more output and release things more quickly, etc., as opposed to having to wait 2 years between releases. It sucks to work for 2+ years on a long record, only to be sick of the music by the time it's finished." ------------- http://tinyurl.com/4xlcvpl" rel="nofollow - Antithetic Twitter http://tinyurl.com/3fvcpo4" rel="nofollow - Antithetic Facebook |

Posted By: Man With Hat

My point being, paying $15.00 or more for 25-35 minutes of music doesn't make me feel good. Doesn't matter who releases it.
Admittedly, it would probably help if I was a Driver fanboy. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Don't know if you're a CD zealot, but on Amazon MP3, Stained Glass is $0.99 and Coyote is $4.99. Quite a bargain, I think.

The thing is, though I will get the download, just so I can hear the album as soon as possible, I'll still be getting the CD as well, because I'd always rather have the physical product over a file, but I dont really want to pay twice for it, especially if they're charging full CD price. Doing a Riverside and charging over £10 for an EP would be very stupid. Also, at the prospect of more regular releases  , but all of them of a short length .------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

"Mix date got delayed by a few days. New release date will be the 24th." "No.. I'm thinking what I might do is release the digital version without any artwork (or a super super minimal version) and then reserve all the real artwork for the CD/vinyl release in April. We'll see..."

Quick note to mention that we just picked up rights to re-release the long out-of-print Bath and Leaving Your Body Map in limited edition CD packages with a few extra never-before-released bonus songs. Also, the previously never-before-released Part the Second CD. These will come in limited runs of 250 copies only. Proceeds from the agreement are going towards funding the final mixing stages of KD's "Gamma Knife." |
