i like "On Limpid Form," but in order to listen to it, i need to be in the mood for a marathon.

Still trying to get into choirs of the eye. I love Pitcher of Summer.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #38 on:** March 20, 2011, 03:04:59 PM »

Why have I not posted in this thread?

I absolutely love Bath. I think it's about time I listen to Leaving Your Body Map.

I have a weird thing with Kayo Dot and motW; I know that they're both objectively amazing, and I'd rate all of the albums I've heard from both of them very highly, they just don't really do anything whatsoever for me at any emotional level.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #40 on:** March 20, 2011, 04:31:18 PM »

Really? Choirs of the Eye usually instantly puts me in a depressing mood.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:55:49 PM »

amazing

Gorille85 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:58:37 PM »

Avant-garde maybe?

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #46 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:59:00 PM »

maudlin of the Well and Choirs of the Eye bounce around between progressively extreme, chaotic, deafeningly loud and screechy death/black metal (sometimes it's one, sometimes it's the other) and airy, atmospheric, fusion-esque mellow stuff with singing. other stuff comes in a bit more occasionally: ambient and drone, spoken word, actual jazz, etc.

Kayo Dot post-Choirs have focused almost exclusively on the experimental/prog rock/jazz fusion/ambient facets of the sound, with occasional forays into the extreme metal facets (happens on Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue, but less than on Choirs), to the point where it's almost like Godspeed You! Black Emperor with vocals at times. (structural orchestral-esque movement GY!BE, not really ambient-sound-collage GY!BE.)

Also, apparently Toby has another 'pop black metal' project called Vaura. There's only one demo on their myspace, but it's REALLY good. I can't wait to hear more: https://www.myspace.com/vaura

They're currently recording

fuuu I can't hear the demo.

oh well, this is still probably gonna kick ass

Sigz · « **Reply #49 on:** April 01, 2011, 05:51:08 PM »

There's a live video here that's decent quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHbCmuiivSU

And yeah, myspace really needs to die. Terrible site.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #50 on:** April 01, 2011, 05:58:14 PM »

So yeah, a few months ago I got Choirs of the Eye and I forgot to say so I think but I really think that album is all sorts of beautiful

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #51 on:** April 01, 2011, 07:08:15 PM »

whoa, that Vaura demo is really amazing. hope that becomes something soon!

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #52 on:** April 01, 2011, 08:51:30 PM »

I now have Bath. It is quite a bit different from Part the Second and Choirs of the Eye, isn't it. I don't think I like the other guys' death growls.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #53 on:** June 12, 2011, 03:22:53 PM »

I've been listening to Bath lately. Really cool stuff. Brutal, beautiful, and peaceful. Toby is something else

Where should I go from here?

Sigz · « **Reply #54 on:** June 12, 2011, 03:25:06 PM »

Well, for maudlin check out Leaving Your Body Map (the second part to Bath) and also Part the Second, which is free here: https://www.maudlinofthewell.net/downloads.html

For Kayo Dot, GET CHOIRS OF THE EYE FOR FUCKS SAKE

Yeah you must.

Choirs of the Eye is one of my favorite albums ever and it must be heard must must must be heard.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #58 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:45:51 PM »

I've had and loved PTS for quite some time now, but I still haven't gotten around to listening to any of Toby's other stuff.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #59 on:** June 29, 2011, 11:03:59 PM »

grabbed myself a copy of PTS and Stained Glass on vinyl today (in fact, the exact minute SG went up on Antithetic Records!). can't wait to have them

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #60 on:** July 26, 2011, 07:03:19 AM »

Bath

Psy · « **Reply #61 on:** July 26, 2011, 05:01:27 PM »

Downloaded Part the Second the other week and I've fallen in love with the album. It's certainly...avant-garde. Gonna check out out these Kayo Dot chaps now.

zxlkho · « **Reply #62 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:45:46 PM »

The intro to Girl With a Watering Can. I think it's a clarinet, everyone disagrees with me. I played the clarinet for years.

Which is it?

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #63 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:47:57 PM »

I agree.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #64 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:50:51 PM »

It's an alto saxophone. The keys on a clarinet do not sound like that. From hearing my ex play a saxophone all the time, I know what the keys of a saxophone sound like, and that sound is present in the intro of that song.

zxlkho · « **Reply #65 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:52:55 PM »

I played clarinet for 6 years. I'm 100% sure that that's a clarinet.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #66 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:56:37 PM »

Yeah I'm pretty sure its clarinet.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 31, 2011, 10:00:56 PM »

Acutally it's a guitar.

zxlkho · « **Reply #68 on:** July 31, 2011, 10:01:11 PM »

Sigz · « **Reply #69 on:** August 01, 2011, 12:47:43 AM »

Sounds like a clarinet to me.
