Toy Horses
And It Was You

Albino Sparrow

WE SAY

Toy Horses' self-titled album was recorded in the US with ex-Wilco member Ken Coomer, who started working with the Welsh duo after hearing their demos on their MySpace. Their demos were also picked up by Radio 1, 6 Music and XFM, and gained repeated ‘Demo of the Week’ accolades on BBC Wales. A successful SXSW 2010 led to support from KCRW's Nic Harcourt, and they have recently been approached by J.R Rotem's Beluga Heights in L.A. to write for artists like Jason Derulo and Iyaz. And It Was You is the first single from the album succeeds in showcasing the pair's classic British songwriting sensibilities.
London gig: January 18, Water Rats WC1
