Hyloxolos is the expansive and surprising new psych-rock supergroup featuring Dave Harrington (Darkside), Peter Matthew Bauer (The Walkmen), the nearly mythical Dylan Carlson (Earth), avant-garde drummer Dylan Fujioka (Meatbodies), and Otis Bauer (Trench) on bass.
This album was birthed over an intense 48-hour period of writing and recording at 64sound in Los Angeles with engineer Tyler Karmen. The massive walls of sound, rolling swells and long, winding passages unfold deliberately, in heavy, kaleidoscopic waves. These six tracks are the sound of an inspired group of strangers cleaving something new out of the ether on arrival - the first notes of the record are the first notes played in the room, and the nearly 40 minutes that follow capture the adrenalized immediacy of those two days, which culminated in a packed and chaotic sold-out show at East Hollywood nightclub Gold Diggers, with some of the band having just met for the first time on entering the studio days before.
With incredible driving drum performances by Fujioka, the American doom blues of Dylan Carlson, Harrington's pyrotechnics and ambient washes, Hyloxolos is an original album that hints at a larger universe of music to come.
