Kayo Dot ’s upcoming Blue Lambency Downward is one of the most anticipated records of the year, continuing on with the band’s fusion of jazz rock with intense metal and avant-garde compositions.

Truly one of the more inspired and original post-metal acts around, Kayo Dot is sure to have another masterpiece on their hands come May 6 (close to my birthday too, hint hint). To tide you over until then, here are two of the new tracks, performed live last month. Thanks to ArchivesKey, whoever you are, for posting these on YouTube.

Note: because Kayo Dot’s songs are so long, one of these videos gets cut off prematurely. There is still a lot there though, so its worthwhile.
