When anticipating music that involves Toby Driver’s contributions, there’s no way to predict what you’re in for. From high concept avant-garde metal to chamber music and electronica, his bands Kayo Dot and maudlin of the Well can dabble in seemingly every music style imaginable. When Driver revealed that his next project would be an all-ballads solo album of traditional songwriting, it was still a surprising announcement, despite the absence of a reliable context for what to expect. The background of his past music aided in the mystique of what this new endeavor would take the form of. With over a decade since the release of his first solo album, In the L..L..Library Loft, this feels like a new beginning.
Toby Driver opens his mind and heart for a stripped down, intimate affair of dreamy compositions to lose yourself in. The album’s title refers to the Madonna-whore complex, which Freud had this to say: “Where such men [being those who can only love saintly women while desiring to actually be with someone they see as debased] love they have no desire, and where they desire they cannot love.” Lyrical themes focus on conflicting desires in romantic relationships, among other things as well. The atmospheres of Madonnawhore fittingly exude a sense of femininity and elusiveness in regard to how each piece plays out. Everything is meticulously arranged, while at the same time feeling loose and fleeting. How the broad genre influences function in Kayo Dot could be explained this way, but largely remain where they should be. They are executed very differently for Driver’s solo endeavor... - Ben Kuettel, sputnikmusic.com
