My Toys Like Me : 'Sweetheart'

My Toys Like Me : 'Sweetheart'

Released: 10th August 2009

Label: Dumb Angel

My Toys Like Me. You have to have quite a special mindset to come up with a name like that and then make music that genuinely justifies such a bizarre moniker.

‘Sweetheart’ is a baffling, seductive piece of musical mischief.

Add to this the jagged blips and belches courtesy of Lazlo Legezer and you have quite a challenging yet equally enchanting piece.

Words: Ollie Cornish
