Choirs of the Eye is the debut studio album by Kayo Dot, released on Tzadik Records in 2003. It was released shortly after the breakup of maudlin of the Well, with the band consisting of several members from the former band as well as guest performers who are friends of band members. The album is titled after a lyric from the maudlin of the Well song 'Blight of River-Systems', on My Fruit Psychobells..A Seed Combustible.[2]SputnikMusic voted it as one of the best metal albums of the 2000s. The group performed the entire album in 2010 to two sold out nights in Brooklyn, New York.[3]
Kayo Dot biography Founded in Brooklyn, NYC, USA in 2003 - Still active as of 2017 Kayo Dot is a New York based avant-garde rock and experimental metal group which formed in 2003 after several members left Toby Driver's previous project, Maudlin of the Well. The core of Kayo Dot might be that mood one that lies at the crossroads of darkness and mystery. In film, music that accompanies mystery is often nocturnal, playing on a primal relation in our brains between the unknown and the night. Its this intersection that is the essence of Kayo Dot. Kayo Dot has never made the same record twice. View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2012 Red Transparent with Black Swirls Vinyl release of Gamma Knife on Discogs.

If I could hold Hold out for now With these icecaps melting down With the transistor sound And my Chevrolet terraplane Going around around around Come on little gamma ray Standing in a hurricane Your brains are bored like a refu.
Style[edit]
Choirs of the Eye blends aspects of experimental metal, post-rock, art rock, jazz, and modern composition, with long, predominantly instrumental, through-composed songs. Additionally, the album continues maudlin of the Well's unorthodox fusion of common metal and rock instrumentation with woodwinds, brass, and strings, with the intention of helping the electric guitar, drum kit, and electric bass to become part of the lexicon of modern classical music.[2] These features helped entice John Zorn to sign the band and distribute the album on his Tzadik label as the first full band in its 'Composer Series'.[2][4]

The lyrics were written by Jason Byron, longtime collaborator of band leader and main composer Toby Driver, who also wrote for maudlin of the Well. Byron would listen to the instrumental compositions and match lyrics accordingly, which were usually written previously and independently. In some cases, entire stanzas were unable to fit in the song structures, which led to some instances of alternative sound creation and recording methods; the song 'The Antique,' for example, features a sound recording of an antique Polaroid camera as it snaps a photo of an unused lyric stanza, thereby making the camera 'speak' the unused words.[2] The lyrics are not published in the album's liner notes.
