Toy Announce North American Release of Their Debut Full-Length

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jun 22, 2012

UK outfit Toy have built a buzz for themselves via a couple of singles and some touring time with the Horrors, but the band are hoping to set their career into overdrive with news of their self-titled debut.

In North America, the 12-song set arrives September 11 through Heavenly Recordings/Cooperative Music/Fontana North. The quintet recorded the LP at Dan Carey's (Hot Chip, Chairlift, the Kills) South London studio. Eleven of the tracks are unreleased, but Toy also includes previously issued single "Motoring," which was delivered on seven-inch vinyl and digitally earlier this spring. You can check out the fuzzy number and its tracer-inducing video clip down below.

Toy apparently, well, toy with "a wide range of genres including punk, psychedelia, Krautrock, post-rock," and the band supposedly undertook "experimental recording techniques in the studio." You can check out the tracklisting below.
