Inner city mutations reign supreme on this shambolic, scuzz-pop ripper
from bowels of Los Angeles. Throbbing bass, jagged guitars, and dreary
vocals anchor each tune with grimy proto punk toughness and clangy, post
punk grit. And the poetry-as-lyrics vocals are smattered with splashes
of Keys and a Moog that have a real rhythmic, almost mechanical, feel to
them that kinda comes off a little like Devo. But don't take that as
them sounding like a Wave band, because they're far from it. SHARK TOYS
music is carved out of the ramshackle, pop-fused, punk of bands like
the Modern Lovers and Television Personalities. Intimate and
shambolic, gutter-pop, slop polished in Swell Maps, Raincoats and Gang
of Four decadence. Recorded and mixed by Monty Buckles of the
Lamps/Wounded Lion.
