My Fruit Psychobells is cuter. It had more metal parts

Hmm lots of cute baby metal antics so yes maybe. That album is the kind of cute you have to talk into showering and doing its dishes once in a while; this is the kind you want to take a long bus ride with but act too awkward around to ask

If we're going with cutest Driver album this wins by a landslide. While Psychobells is quirky at times, it's also reminiscent of Edge of Sanity and other '90s melodeath a lot and the heaviest maudlin album. This on the other hand is very different, and would agree with this description by my friend AnimalsAsSummit: "lush, sunny/ land/ water/ nature sound with sprinkled dissonance here and there."

This album isnt very original either. And it's the metal and jazz parts that make that album childish and "cute" imo. This album sounds quite academic and cold to me.

This is pretty original and doesn't sound cold to me, never heard anything that sounded like it. Would be interested in recs if there are albums that sounds like this.

[2] recs like this please!
I get what you mean re. composition tbf GLion, but I think the softer tone and goofball vocals on this give it a different kind of cuteness. Edgy experimental music meets soft blankets and fluffy (fictional / vaguely fantastical) small animals

Toby's best band album. A lush and beautiful experience.

And it always kills me when people say Toby's masterworks are unoriginal. Ain't no albums that sound like this, buddy.

I'll make some notes some time when I revisit MotW in january. Most of it is linked to modern classical and prog. (Like Blue Lambency Downward)
@AnimalsAsSummit
Almost all music is original to some extent. It would be difficult to find an album that sounds exactly like Psychobells, but that doesn't mean it isn't heavily derivative of death metal bands.

But what about an album like this? I personally can't compare this to anything. If anything I would akin it to Talk Talk but even that is a bit of stretch. Pure dream music homie.

I do agree this album can feel a bit academic, but unoriginal?

"but unoriginal?"
I didn't mean to imply that if I did.

I guess "not very original" isn't the same as "unoriginal" so I'll let you have a pass on that.

my buddy and i made this record that's highly motW/kayo dot inspired. it ends up sounding more motW but more like a less death/technical version of the early albums, more blues/folk touches but the influence is still there!

can't say i'm a big fan of the overly orchestral moments that dominate the first half but i like when it picks up speed and gets weirder in the last two tracks
probably will try to digest this a bit more

Huge bump for this, best motW and probably the second best Toby album. Opener is the best song ever made

Throw in Dowsing and Choirs, and that's a comfy top 5

yeah exactly. I saw Kayo Dot live a month or so before lockdown in the States and they played Gemini off Dowsing and it was incredible and goose bump inducing when those first few notes came in.
