They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn's Tzadik label that year.
Its lineup is constantly changing, but has consisted of Toby Driver, Ron Varod, Mia Matsumiya, Keith Abrams, Tim Byrnes, David Bodie, Dan Means and Terran Olson.
The music of Kayo Dot can not be accurately described by the limiting contemporary genre nomenclatures. Their songs involve complex instrumentation (composed by singer and frontman Driver), generally without refrain. They are substantially longer than typical rock songs, often ranging from 8 to 15 minutes in length.
Kayo Dot's second album Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue was released in January of 2006.
On May 6 2008, they released their third full-length, Blue Lambency Downward, on Hydra Head Records.
Their fourth album, recorded in June 2009, named Coyote, was released on 20 April 2010 on Hydra Head Records. It was later brought out on vinyl by Taiga Records in November 2010.
Their first EP, Stained Glass, was released in January 2011 by Hydra Head, with very little fanfare. It was later issued on vinyl by Antithetic Records in August 2011, with a "de-mix" of the song on the second side.
Their second EP, Gamma Knife, was self-released digitally via http://kayodot.bandcamp.com in January 2012. Antithetic Records produced a vinyl release in June 2012.
Their fifth album, Hubardo, was released digitally on August 2013, with a vinyl release to follow.
Their sixth album, Coffins on Io, was released on October 15, 2014 through experimental metal label The Flenser. It is a concept album, and the first full-length album from Kayo Dot not to be self-released since 2010's Coyote.
Side projects include Tartar Lamb, Tartar Lamb II, and maudlin of the Well (to which Kayo Dot can be considered a spiritual successor, though the two projects now co-exist). Toby Driver's solo album In the L..L..Library Loft is also a Kayo Dot album in all but name, mainly being released under his name due to the record label's preference.

Super unusual timbre. To have the metal drums and agonised howling vocals over Badalamenti-esque evolving synth chords. Unique, foreign, cold but massively expressive - what a listening experience.

Prophesy Prod is one of the worthwhile labels.
Never disappoints.
Thank you, dear friends!

Had my first strong panic attack in a long time two days ago. The feeling kind of lingers, with both a portion of joy and fear. Yesterday I was listening to the album, and I'm suddenly finding myself crying my eyes out during this song. I can barely get over how good this album is, and less so the depressingly small number of people that seem to think the same. 4000 views on this video? I have a hard time comprehending that. But I guess were all just a bunch of weirdos here :) Love to you all.

What an incredible atmosphere this track has. All the singles were amazing but this one stands out on that respect

Toby I actually love you so much. Your music has impacted my life in so many amazing ways and I'm so grateful for you. I had already been listening to Kayo Dot and Maudlin for years when Hubardo came out but that album and Coffins on Io came into my life when I was going through a lot of changes spiritually, discovering my gender, traveling and meeting people and finding myself, and when one of my best friends and musical collaborators took his own life. I messaged you on facebook years ago with just some little question about your music making process, but it meant so much to me that you responded. The fact that you are just a person just like me, just like every one else, yet you can create these divine works of art gives me so much hope. One day I hope to thank you in person.

Hubardo and Coffins hold a special place for me. Same with plastic house. All of them do really… been listening since the Maudlin days and was lucky to see them on tour for Blue Lambeny tour in Ottawa. Otherworldly music that takes me away! Love hearing the constant experimentation

This is another level in music...so magical, haunting, and spiritualized
Ethan A
This is probably my favorite of the singles (Even though Get Out Of The Tower makes me want to Hulk smash through walls), the atmosphere is just next level.
