2012 full-length debut album from the Indie quintet. The album was recorded with Dan Carey (Hot Chip, the Kills) in South London. Toy's musical influences incorporate a wide range of genres including punk, Psychedelia, Krautrock, Post Rock to name a few and they explore experimental recording techniques in the studio.

Play it; play with it; play to it...
I must agree with the previously published reviews - a storming debut. A maelstrom of swirling sonic attack overlain with trippy guitars. I took a chance on this album having read a very positive review. From the description in the review, it did not sound too far removed from the music of Wooden Shjips & Moon Duo in the 'psych' influences incorporated. Those of you who enjoy these (related) bands will very much enjoy this, as well as any older rock fans who liked their 60s / 70s psych or the sort of 'out there' later stuff issued on the late 'Delerium' records label and excellently compiled on "Last Daze of the Underground" box set The Last Daze Of The Underground - Delerium Records. As well as the 'krautrock' and 'Hawkwind-ish' elements, I can also detect some hints of 'Echo & the Bunnymen's" psych elements and the "Jesus & Mary Chain".

play ..TOY
I had the pleasure of seeing TOY backing the HORRORS in Bristol this year and they were exceptional ..at the time there wasn't much in the way of any recording of them to buy so it was a long wait for the release of this cd...I personally love it but I cant say go out and buy it as I have no idea what your taste in music is..my advice therefore would be if you like the HORRORS or S.C.U.M. etc. listen to them on youtube and then make up your own mind ..you just might surprise yourself

Outstanding!
Saw this band alongside British Sea Power in London, and they were amazing! I'd never heard of them before, but on the strength of their live performance I bought this album and I was not disappointed. Listen at volume, there is so much to hear and you don't want to miss a note!

every track a winner
I bought this after hearing them on 6 Music and then seeing them at the SWN festival in Cardiff last year, I really love every single track on this album, probably one of the best released in 2012, fav track is Dead and Gone with the build up the the heartstopping keychange

Toy CD
Quite a difficult CD to get hold of, which is rather surprising for an upcoming new band, but the present was much appreciated by my partner (and myself). Very good album.
