Toyland

Self-released in 1983, Toyland's singular creation is an anomalous yet vibrant jewel in the underground canon of Australian music. Conceived during the bijou thrum of Adelaide creativity in the early 80's, Toyland's raw mixture of post-punk and new-wave sounds, blanketed by heavy dub and afro-pop experimentations, reflects the mongrel sensibilities of an Australian sound in an ever growing global mirror.

Despite heavy rotation on local community station 5MMM and an enthusiastic reception on the Adelaide scene, sales never covered recording costs and within 2 years the group had dissolved into the annals of obscure Australian music history…

For the first time since 1983 ‘Toyland’ returns to vinyl, remastered with extended liner notes, photos and words from original member Nicholas Hope.
