A while back I caught Toy’s first night of their residency at the Shackelwell. The opening track Motoring totally had me hooked. The lead singer’s vocals were magic, real nonchalant, reminded me of Lawrence from Felt singing Pulp songs or something. The band played with driving kraut, psyche references but with a naïve pop stamp on it, claiming it. But yeah Motoring was just a fantastic pop record. An amazing set opener.

A few weeks later I was psyched when Panda from Toy asked if I’d be up for remixing their song, I Left Myself Behind yet another cracking track.

A fantastic band and well worth the hype.
