Rhyton is an American experimental psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn, New York.
History
editRhyton was formed as an improvisational outfit by Dave Shuford, Jimy Seitang, and Spencer Herbst; Shuford had been a member of No Neck Blues Band and Seitang had played with Psychic Ills.[1] The group recorded its debut album in a span of only three days, later issuing it as a self-titled effort on the label Thrill Jockey.[1] Drummer Rob Smith, who was also a member of Pigeons, began touring with the band across the US and Europe, and subsequently replaced Herbst when he left. Rhyton began incorporating more Greek and Southern-American song forms with their improvisations, and has since released two further full-lengths on Thrill Jockey as well as two limited-edition LPs on other labels.[2][3][4][5][6]
