Kayo Dot have announced a select few tour dates for North America this fall. The band is still in support of their latest release, Plastic House on Base of Sky which was released on June 24th of this year by The Flenser. As of now the band has a date in Canada with more dates in the midwest and east coast, with more to be announced as time draws near. The dates as of now are listed below.
On Plastic House on Base of Sky, Kayo Dot fully embrace the electronic allusions found on 2014’s Coffins on Io LP, incorporating a variety of synthesizers (many of them vintage analog) to create another work of ambition and magnitude that fuses the explosive musical imagination of a band like Magma with the forward-thinking experimentalism of Conrad Schnitzler or Morton Subotnick. This 40 minute-long, 5-song LP goes beyond the future-noir theme of Coffins on Io and is an innovative and biomechanical work of art. Think seemingly impossible architecture, dead satellites, trashed space stations, wasted old lady heroin addicts hanging out by cheap motel pools, broken people, and a hopeless dead and polluted world transitioning into artifice and mechanism and reacting by being self-destructive, either to the point of utter obliteration or a glorious transhuman condition.
