Dec 23, 2014Taken as a whole, Kykeon seems more cohesive, less add-x-to-y, than the self-titled debut.
-
Nov 25, 2014Kykeon is a tripped-out and sometimes intense experience--able to pull even the most rigid listener into the incense-perfumed darkness.
-
Dec 18, 2014We might have heard these tropes a thousand times before, but on Kykeon, Rhyton use them to make something richer and more nimble than the flabby freak-out-by-numbers psych that's currently clogging up rock's bandwidth.

Nov 25, 2014There's literally no other band that could handle this heady material with such confidence and ease, and Rhyton sound like they love every second of it.
