Play Time!


TOY are preparing to release their eponymous debut LP on September 10th via Heavenly Recordings and things are starting to heat up in the TOY camp.  Just yesterday, the video for the albums third proper single 'Lose My Way' was released.  It's a sparse one camera shot with the band's silhouettes back lit by flashbulbs, fireworks and other psychedelic visuals.  The single sees a UK release on September 3rd and features fan favourite 'Bright White Shimmering Sun' (I still can't believe this song isn't on the album) as the b-side.  While 'Lose My Way' is not as strong as previous singles 'Left Myself Behind' and 'Motoring', it is still a worthy candidate.





In other TOY news, the band recently released a limited edition 12" vinyl of album track 'Dead & Gone' which features an Andrew Weatherall remix on the b-side.  Surprisingly, it is still available for purchase here.  Sure, the track could've been edited down from its colossal 8 minute running time, but that's not how TOY operate.  Plus, where's the fun in that?



Here's the track list for TOY's debut LP which was recorded during the spring of 2012 with Dan Carey at his South London studio.
