Toy Balloon pull back the curtain

Rave Magazine recently interviewed lofly’s electronic-indie champs Toy Balloon about about new songs, the recent spate of tours, lofly and Hangar, Triple J and the ties that bind the band together.

“It’s been seven months since the release of Toy Division. Are you working on new material already?

Absolutely, our new sets are pretty much all-new material. Our sound has shifted immensely over the past few months and we are incorporating a lot more percussion and saxophone, and most importantly we have switched from an analogue sequencer to an Ableton-based laptop setup. The new stuff is sounding a lot more modern and diverse. We’re working on a new album, which we will be recording in July and August. All the songs are pretty much written.” (Read the full interview at the Rave Website).

The publication also reviewed Toy Balloon’s show at Gossip Nightclub on 28 May 2010 writing: “Their clean combination of sophisticated vocals, consistent disco beats and Warhol Factory-style instruments – a sax, electronics, tambourines, and cowbells – creates an entirely unique sound.”
