The music of Toronto-based instrumental band The Hylozoists lends itself well to lofty analogies. One listener might liken it to a soundtrack in search of an art house film. Another might find it ideal accompaniment for a macabre carnival carousel. Perhaps if Fellini and Leone had started a circus, their organ grinders would've churned out music akin what you will hear on The Hylozoists' long-awaited sophomore album La Fin du Monde.

The Hylozoists are a rotating cast of exemplary players - a veritable "who's who" list of Canadian musicians that perform with The Weakerthans, The FemBots, Cuff the Duke, The Sadies, Old Soul, Hayden, Broken Social Scene, The Heavy Blinkers, The Golden Dogs, The Deadly Snakes, Bodega, Minotaurs, Andre Ethier, Hopeful Monster and more.

"The Hylozoists make harmonically challenging, sustained, trance-like post-rock instrumentals ... an emotionally uplifting harmonic flux that enthralls and delights with its elegance and virtuosity ... an ecstatic blend. (Rating: 4/5 stars)�" - Uncut
