Ploughing (or plagiarizing) a musical heritage rich with psychedelia, kraut rock and shoe gaze, Toy make a glorious noise. As the late great John Peel once noted does it really matter who influenced who as long as the music is good. Toy mix long and swooshy instrumentals with perfectly formed 3 minutes psych-pop songs sublimely. The psychedelic swirl and energy driving the Toy sound makes them a formidable live experience.
