Kayo Dot is an avant-and/or-compositional-rock band hailing from New York City. Led by composer Toby Driver, Kayo Dot began after the band maudlin of the Well disbanded. Their hallucinatory music has its roots in doom-goth, progressive rock, and new age, and has combined these influences with their experiences in the modern classical and avant-jazz worlds of downtown New York to create a completely unique, complex, heartbreaking, and meticulously composed genreless sound all their own.
