THE FUCKING GROWLS ARE BACK! THE MOTHER FUCKING GROWLS ARE BACK! THE METAL IS BACK AND KAYO DOT IS FUCKING BACK MOTHERFUCKERS FUCK YEAH AOTY SHIT ON MY DICK!
The addition of metal influences is certainly welcome, but as tradition, Kayo Dot can't make a consistent album to save their lives, even with a 32 minute runtime.
Kayo Dot are still eclectic and bizarre as ever, but thanks to the reappearance of metal and a more concise, half-hour tracklist, Gamma Knife ends up as another successful Toby Driver album.
As short and concise as Kayo Dot have ever sounded. Still, at roughly 32 minutes in length, Gamma Knife is very aesthetically dense. The chaotic pseudo-symphonic rumblings of Driver's latest projects are present, but his older "metal" atmosphere has returned. The middle trio features a twist of black metal peeking through the cacophony of wooded instruments. Very solid for sure.
