maudlin of the well - my fruit psychobells… a seed combustible

.:: Avant-garde metal band formed in Boston in 1996 by a large collective of musicians. Their experimental and very spacey style set them apart from the rest of the progressive metal scene, but also doomed them to obscurity. After recording three albums and building a small but devoted cult following, MAUDLIN OF THE WELL disbanded in 2003. Numerous members of the band would go on to form Kayo Dot, who have since carried on the sound that MAUDLIN OF THE WELL was evolving towards.

Maudlin's music, lyrics, and atmosphere dealt predominantly with the subject of astral projection. The band tried to find music rather than compose it. This was done through practicing astral projection and lucid dreams, from which the band were purportedly able to "bring back" pre-existing music from the astral plane (as stated by Toby Driver in the liner notes included with the reissued Bath and Leaving Your Body Map).

In late 2001, the band began working on a fourth studio album. During this time, the band lost several longtime members, changed labels, and ultimately renamed themselves to Kayo Dot. This fourth album was later released in 2003 as Kayo Dot's Choirs of the Eye.
