Album Notes:
Frontman Toby Driver says “Gamma Knife is my exploration of a black metal sound”. Limited to 500 copies.
Kayo Dot is an American experimental music group formed in 2003 by Toby Driver. They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records label that year.
Since then, Kayo Dot’s music has undergone several identity shifts, largely influenced by the band’s constantly-changing lineup and instrumentation. One predominant element of Driver’s compositional voice which remains consistent throughout all of Kayo Dot’s output, however, is the band’s use of abstract timing and performance cues.
The band have released six studio albums: Choirs of the Eye in 2003, Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue in 2006, Blue Lambency Downward in 2008, Coyote in 2010, Stained Glass in 2011, and Gamma Knife/Grey Dream in 2012.
Gamma Knife (also known as Gamma Knife/Grey Dream) is the fifth studio album by American band Kayo Dot, released on January 4, 2012 on Bandcamp. Produced by multinstrumentalist and songwriter Toby Driver, it was partially recorded live at Littlefield, Brooklyn NY on October 5, 2011 by Jeremiah Cymerman and at Toby Driver's home in October - November 2011, and mixed and mastered by Randall Dunn at Avast in Seattle, on December 2011. This album sees the band incorporating screamed vocals for the first time since 2006’s Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue, as well as a more metal-oriented sound augmented by saxophones.
