Toy Label Archives

I found the discography of this amazing Japanese music label called "Toy Label" months ago. I spent three days trying to track down ANY SONGS by any artist on the label. Lots of the artists on this label are now-defunct or go by different names, or the names are simply impossible to find any info on, possibly releasing only one item under the moniker.

I feel like I need to post a little explanation of what I like so much about this entire collection, because otherwise I will end up saying the same thing in every blog post: Most things in the Toy Label collection dont give a shit about how they come across. The general mood will be serious but suddenly one track will have an arpeggiated synth line come out of nowhere, just for a bit. There tends to be a healthy mixture of experimentation and respect for... the range of influences that come before it. It doesn't feel post-modern or dadaist, but it just doesn't care if you get confused. It is consistently, slightly, experimental. Not for some higher purpose, but just for fun.

Anyways, I'm gonna post a link to the torrent, which I encourage anyone to download, I seed it regularly. I also am planning to post little reviews of a few of my favorite albums with direct download links accompanying. !!! :)
