"The sense of dynamics is marvelously realized. It's homemade; the very particular places she evokes beg exploration. Her penchant for imagery is idiosyncratic and her desire for expression is no less than inspiring" - Mess and Noise magazine "Shiver Like Timber plays her quiet pop songs with a cute wistfulness that captures more than a few hearts." – RAVE Magazine "Shiver Like Timber writes songs that evoke images from the depths of your childhood and Debussy-like reveries of places you've never been to and times you've never experienced." – Time Off Magazine

Toy Balloon Tour!
 
Brisbane outfit Toy Balloon will release their debut album Toy Division on November 8 through Lofly Records, and to celebrate will perform an east coast launch tour throughout November.

Formed in 2007, Toy Balloon was originally a fledgling two-piece made up by Nimai Etheridge’s uniquely melodic wall-of-sound guitar and Greg Cooper’s beautiful sequenced electronic compositions. The band have since matured into a four piece featuring Chloe Cooper (Mr Maps) on key boards and Ben Green on drums.

The album was recorded and mixed at the Lofly Hangar in Brisbane, a DIY performance space that Toy Balloon has been an integral part of creating. Fostering emerging artists and left-of-centre music, the Hangar acts as a performance space, recording studio, and meeting place; and has resulted in a record with a rich, layered sound reminiscent of New Order, Mogwai, Boards of Canada, and LCD Soundsystem.

Catch Toy Balloon launch Toy Division at a venue near you this Oct/ November.

TOY BALLOON TOUR DATES:

Brisbane- Thursday 29 October- The Zoo, Fortitude Valley w/ Moon Jog, Tin Can Radio and Doom Doom.

Sydney- Wednesday 4 November- ‘Upstarts’ at Spectrum, Darlinghurst w/ Convaire and Black Bear Brown Bear

Sydney- Thursday 5 November- Oxford Arts Factory, Darlinghurst w/ World Champion and others

Melbourne- Saturday 7 November- Pony, Melbourne w/ Love Connection and Aoi

Melbourne- Sunday 8 November- El Joyero, Melbourne

Toy Division is released November 6 on Lofly Records, with distribution through MGM.
