TOY are getting ready to return with a fourth studio album and have shared two new, noticably opposing songs entitled The Willo and Energy.
These will be out on 12″ vinyl tomorrow via their newly-signed-to label Tough Love, and there’s details too of a live outing at the Shacklewell Arms in London on September 28th. The LP is planned for January 2019 and will be their follow-up to 2016’s Clear Shot, on which Live4ever concluded: ‘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.”
