TOY have premiered a Bunny Kinney-directed video for Another Dimension.
It’s the latest from their Clear Shot album, released in October through Heavenly and recorded with producer David Wrench at Eve Studio. Live4ever found good things about Clear Shot, concluding that ‘for a band so flagrantly marinated in the past, there is an aura of progress, in the dark or not‘:
“Opening track A Clear Shot is a song of two halves. Uncomfortable chords are away hacked at for a good while before Dougall laments like a disinterested Morrissey about the streets below being “a town I used to know”. Frenetic drumming eventually lifts you from the listlessness as the latter part surges towards a raging finish.”
“Keyboards on Fast Silver gently jump and trickle, reminiscent of The Doors, and the snake charm wriggle of Jungle Games is as narcotic as George Harrison on the primetime summer of loving Blue Jay Way.”
