The Best Thing Since The Last Best Thing

Toy

Despite having one of the most un-googleable names ever, UK five-piece Toy are garnering quite a bit of buzz.  Formed in 2010, Toy are Tom Dougall (singer/guitar),  Dominic O'Dair (guitar), Maxim Barron (bass), Charlie Salvidge (drums), and Spanish keyboard player Alejandra Diez.

Their first single 'Left Myself Behind' is a nearly eight minute psychedelic shoegazing glam stomper.  Their second single, entitled 'Motoring', was released on April 9th.  Their debut record isn't even out yet and they've already supported The Horrors on a UK tour and played major European festivals!  The debut album is tentatively set for September of this year.  Check out the videos for 'Left Myself Behind' and 'Motoring' below where Tom Dougall resembles a young Brian Molko from Placebo, but with more aloofness.
