Last year UK psych-rock outfit TOY released a collaborative album with Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan and producer Dan Carey as the group project Sexwitch it grounded the band’s dreamier tendencies towards a more targeted rumble. TOY have gotten around to providing a proper follow-up to 2013’s excellent release “Join The Dots”. Their new album, “Clear Shot” is the group’s third studio LP due out later this autumn and is led by this little taster “Fast Silver,” a playful mid-tempo trip that balances brooding overcast with punchy keyboard motifs. Vocalist Tom Dougall’s moan pushes through the band’s hazy atmospherics, punctuated by meandering guitar and flickering percussion. It’s deliriously delicious grunge-tinted acid-pop.
‘Clear Shot’ is the title of TOY’s third album. Out on Friday October 28th via Heavenly Recordings.
Recorded with producer David Wrench.
