stranger – zodiacs

Zodiacs is captured tracks‘ head honcho, Mike Sniper’s idea of an equivalent of 4AD’s this mortal coil i.e. a super band consists of members from other bands on his label.
the first release was Faraway Friend” 7″, which had Mike Sniper playing with Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls, JB from Crystal Stilts, plus Jeremy and Jarvis from Woods.
this release has Sniper collaborating with Soft Metals‘ Patricia Hall and Thieves Like Us‘ Andy Grier to deliver a slab of cold wave post punk goodness.

TOY is a Korg Delta led five-piece formed in 2010. It consists of Tom Dougall (Vox/Guitars), Dominic O’Dair (Guitars), Maxim Barron (Bass/Vox), Alejandra Diez (Synthesizers/Modulation) and Charlie Salvidge (Drums/Vox). TOY’s musical influences incorporate a wide range of genres including punk, psychedelia, krautrock, post rock to name a few and they explore experimental recording techniques in the studio.

With the majority of 2010 spent writing, TOY played their first show at the Cave Club in Islington earlier this year. Since then the band have played a string of live performances including Field Day and 1234 festivals and have supported bands such as The Horrors and The Pretty Things. Their first single – Left Myself Behind – is out now.
