Kayo Dot has just released another fascinating single entitled "Get Out Of The Tower" taken from its forthcoming album Moss Grew On The Swords And Plowshares Alike, scheduled for release on 29 October.
"The track 'Get Out Of The Tower' is a recapitulation of 'The Knight Errant' theme", explains lyricist Jason Byron. "The mote of dust, the brave hero, tries his steel against the tower of experience and flees in terror. Mankind's champion does not exist, nor is there a messiah, and there is no one who will save humanity from itself".
The stark frailty of the human condition is the overall theme running through the veins of Kayo Dot's tenth regular studio album Moss Grew On The Swords And Plowshares Alike. In the sprawling, churning musical multiverse of mostly multi-instrumentalist Toby Driver's creation that has never accepted nor cared for any artificial borders of genre and incorporated for example rock, metal, classical music, goth, indie, pop, and jazzy structures, this avant-garde album appears to tilt towards a more harsh as well as heavy approach than on some of the previous recordings – and considering its dark and melancholic undertones may be given the epithet doom.
The human experience of a finite life probably gave birth to the linear monotheist concept of a universe that is created and expiring. The pagan mind often has a deeper looking cyclic vision as exemplified in Nordic myth, in which the world inevitably perishing in the fires of Ragnarok will be born renewed on the next day. Something of the latter's appears to have infected Moss Grew On The Swords And Plowshares Alike. Check on the "Get Out Of The Tower" lyric video below. Link
