Well it technically is Kayo Dot. The compositions are just maudlin of the Well. And no, they definitely won't tour... Forbes said that on the Kayo Dot board (which I don't post to anymore).
I like Kayo Dot more, they are definitely the better band. But I have such an emotional response to maudlin that I sometimes would rather listen to them for 5 hours than listen to a minute of Kayo Dot. It's weird, it's just the type of mood I'm in.
And don't reject My Fruit Psychobells... very amateurish recording and not as tight as their other stuff, but still very beautiful songs. Some of those songs have my favourite melodies in them. And the trumpet in... Ocean, The King... I think is just breathtaking.
Best band ever.
