UK rockers Toy package krautrock stylings with Horrors-esque texture, a sound that netted them a 20 Most Exciting Bands Of 2012 mention from NME. On “Left Myself Behind,” the group creates a gauzy, psych-tinged atmosphere and showcases their knack for a compelling groove. Download it down below.

File this one under “Bands That Are Hard to Google”.
I really like this song, and I live within a half hour of Austin, so I went ahead and looked to see if they will be playing SXSW. It turns out that they are, but in their bio I found this disturbing nugget: “…they have…taken the stage with acts like One Republic, Lifehouse, the Counting Crows, Uncle Kracker, and Family Force 5.” Yes, yes, I know I should just let my impression of the band be based upon the music, but there isn’t a lot available at this time, and I can’t help but wonder why a good band would want people to know that they had even been in the vicinity of Lifehouse and Uncle Kracker.
If your struggling to find the band online you can head to the Heavenly Recordings site for more info and links to their pages:
