TOY Release of their 2nd Single. ‘Motoring’ On April 23rd
TOY announce the release of their 2nd single ‘Motoring’. The track gets a full release on Monday April 23rd and will be available on 7" vinyl and download via Heavenly Recordings and comes boasting another gem of a b side track called ‘When I Went Back’.
Here’s the accompanying video for ‘Motoring’ which was premiered online this week. It was directed and edited by their friend Joe Morris who worked on the first video for ‘Left Myself Behind’ and comes packing an array of visual effects courtesy of Joe and Salvador Maldonado (brass-moustache.co.uk); their impressive work can be viewed below
‘Motoring’ is also up on Steve Lamaq’s rebel playlist this week on his 6music radio show. If you could find 10 seconds out of your day to vote for their single that would be really appreciated. We need more kraut infused Korg driven psych pop on the radio!:
