Maudlin Of The Well

Maudlin Of The Well is one of the most eclectic bands ever featured here, or for that matter any reference dedicated to heavy music. They are the kind of band who aren't just in left field, but out of the ballpark altogether, with a style that is virtually indescribable given its breadth of diverse styles. Acoustic interludes, grinding riffs, jazz breaks, horns, dreamy quiet passages, death growls, and much much more, it's all in there somewhere, blended together as well as can be expected given the large number of members involved (no doubt there were many conflicts as what must have been a very disparate band of individuals attempted to construct songs). The latter two albums Bath* and *Leaving Your Body Map were actually intended as companion albums, more or less recorded together, representing quite an ambitious effort indeed. Those seeking true diversity in music, this is your band. After three albums, they broke up in 2002 or 2003, but several members were later involved in another project, Kayo Dot, a continuation (of sorts) of the sounds created by Maudlin. They came back together in 2009 and recorded an album for free download, Part The Second.
