New Toby Driver solo album

2017-02-01 by hesperus | 21 Comments
Kayo Dot frontman Toby Driver announced today that he will be releasing a new solo album, entitled Madonnawhore, on April 21 of this year. The album will be released via The Flenser, the record label that published Kayo Dot's two most recent albums. In contrast to his more experimental work, Driver describes Madonnawhore as a "ballads album" of "traditional songwriting."

In advance of the album's release, Brooklyn Vegan is premiering the track "Avignon," a subdued, intimate song which is indeed more traditional in structure than most of Driver's previous work.
Driver will be performing music from Madonnawhore at SXSW 2017 in Austin, as well as at the Roulette in Brooklyn on March 21.

In addition, The Flenser will be reissuing Kayo Dot's 2013 album Hubardo on CD on April 21 and on vinyl at a later date.

If Toby's past with relatively straight ballads is any hint, this could very well be aoty

Anything packed to bursting with Pitchers of Summers or Geographies is alright in my book

Stoked. And cool to see they're reissueing Hubardo. I never got the initial wave of cds, so I bought a limited Japanese import version Toby found extras of last year. Wanna sell it for a steep price and buy the new Flenser release for it.

Avignon is nice, this has potential to be a chill little sidestep from him

titled "madonnawhore"? ballads? normal songwriting? hipster ass album art featuring nothing but toby's face?

i think this may be the first time i am not excited for a driver release; lets hope the album is more eventful than this track. i just never expected something this, well, "expected" from mr. driver

haha we'll see, so far the vibes im getting from this are totally flatline.... not sure if he's even going for atmosphere w this one or just a collection of songs? ugh, "madonnawhore" though.... just sounds so forced and meaningless compared to his other past titles

"looks like a greasy bastard in the album art"

He's really falling into that NYC hipster look.
