Toby Driver is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and artist, best known for his work as the frontman of the experimental bands maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot. His music contains elements from many different genres including doom metal, jazz, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, post rock, progressive metal, death metal, and gothic metal, as well as chamber music, ambient music and new-age music. Maudlin's music, lyrics, and atmosphere dealt predominantly with the subject of astral projection. The band described their approach as trying to
find music rather than
compose it. This was done through practicing astral projection and lucid dreams, from which they were purportedly able to "bring back" pre-existing music from the astral plane.
These two albums were released as companion to each other, each album's features cover art befitting the title of its counterpart.
Another late teens album I have spent many a night attempting to control the realm of my own dream world but alas have never succeeded, best played back to back starting with bath with many sleeping pills, lying on one's back in order to best leave the feeling of being human.
Kayo Dot is another band that will be posted here aswell as other releases from motW that are harder to find (these 2 albums are the easy ones)
Creation isn't beautiful You inspire the ugliest things
Sleep is a curse
