A 10-piece instrumental group with multiple vibraphones, double drums, organ, piano, strings, glockenspiel, flugelhorn and more.

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, FemBots, Cuff the Duke, The Sadies, Old Soul, Hayden, Broken Social Scene, Heavy Blinkers, Golden Dogs, Deadly Snakes, Bodega, Minotaurs, Andre Ethier, Hopeful Monster and more.
