Comprised of Tom Dougall (vocals/guitar), Dominic O’Dair (guitar), Maxim Barron (bass/vocals), Alejandra Diez (synths and modulations) and Charlie Salvidge (drums/vocals), the quintet of TOY have developed a sound that manages to feel incredibly modern while paying homage to the psychedelia of the 1960s   – in other words, you’ll hear complex chord progressions played through tons of effects, enigmatic lyrics and driving Motorik grooves done in a way that is trippy. 

The band will be opening on the Horrors’ North American tour in May, and to celebrate that announcement, the Horrors’ Tom Furse remixed “Conductor” off TOY’s sophomore effort Join the Dots. And interestingly Furse’s remix retains the relentless motorik groove and expands upon it while giving the song a cosmic glow thanks to glistening synths and swirling electronics making the remix even more club-friendly while retaining the psychedelic feel.
