I'm Still Believing


The spirit and sound of 80s indie, proper indie mind, seems to be alive and well in this new song from Toy- the guitars are brittle, the vocals remind me of Lawrence from Felt and Pete Astor, all very Creation. Rather good and very catchy too. Even the press shot for the album has been done to look like a cassette inlay. It's got me wondering what happened to my suede jacket.

    Wherever it is it will have disintegrated by now. Bought cheap in Flip on Bold Street Liverpool.

    It's always worth checking out what Toy do and this is no exception. Good stuff.

    This is from now and not the mid 80s??? It is the bastard son of Felt......but that is not meant as a criticism. Very good indeed.
