Muskox

about

Muskox is a Toronto-based instrumental group formed to perform the compositions of Michael Smith. Since its inception in 2006 the group has developed a unique ensemble sound based on the diverse musical backgrounds of its membership and unusual banjo-led instrumentation. Muskox’s music is a challenging fusion of jazz, American minimalism, various folk musics, and progressive rock, with a focus on densely structured poly-metric pieces. In addition to three self-released eps, Muskox released their first full-length recording, titled 5 Pieces, in October 2009 on Standard Form recordings. The group is currently at work on a follow-up album drawing from the timbres and textures of 1970s progressive rock and the Cantebury scene.
