Toy Love ‎– "Toy Love" (Deluxe Records ‎– Z 20008,) 1980


One of the better New Zealander New Wave groups was Toy Love(as featured on AK:79); Uk equivalents are possibly The Flys(?) I suppose,purely as a point of reference.
I like this kinda stuff, melodic and unchallenging music to prepare a meal to.New Wave/Power Pop was 1980's folk music for me.

Tracklist:

I Don't Mind
Swimming Pool
Death Rehersal
Bride Of Frankenstein
Toy Love Song
Photographs Of Naked Ladies
Bedroom
The Crunch
Ain't It Nice
Cold Meat
Don't Catch Fire
Green Walls
Pull Down The Shades
Frogs
Fast Ostrich

The 2CD version corrected some of the problems with the shitty recording. TL are best heard IMHO on 'Live at the Gluepot' or the slightly-less-official 'Live at the Cook', upon which they sound terrific.

Love Chris Knox - his DIY solo stuff was ace, as were the Tall Dwarfs.
