    Taken as a whole, Kykeon seems more cohesive, less add-x-to-y, than the self-titled debut.

    We 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.

    Kykeon is a tripped-out and sometimes intense experience--able to pull even the most rigid listener into the incense-perfumed darkness.

    Even more than on its two earlier LPs, Rhyton knows where it's going. Each piece zeros in on a particular mood. [No. 116, p.59]

    Kykeon combines that knowledge [of Greek folk music] with freewheeling homeland psych. [Jan 2015, p.76]

    More versatile and more deliberate, this new set of tunes sees Rhyton finding their collective voice more than ever before.

    There'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.
