Toby Driver is an American composer and multi-instrumentalist who currently resides in New York City as both an independent artist and composer/performer for avant-garde band Kayo Dot.
Toby used to play bass, piano, guitar and sing on Maudlin of the Well, and has worked with numerous other bands, including Asva, Tartar Lamb (originally created to play his self-written piece Sixty Metonymies), and Tartar Lamb II, and he has played onstage with Secret Chiefs 3, for instance.
His first solo album, In the L..L..Library Loft, was released on Tzadik in 2005. It was released under his name at Tzadik's preference, though most of Kayo Dot still appears on it. He composed the soundtrack to the short film The Pod (2013) and a multimedia project Ichneumonidae (2014). His second solo album, Madonnawhore, was released in 2017 (described by the artist himself as "consisting entirely of dreary ballads"); a live album, Live at Roulette, March 2017, was also given limited release in the same year.
