Although our first E.P, Landscapes, is probably plentiful in shops you wont go to, maybe because you live overseas, we haven't got any more copies and would love for you to download it. This offer also stands to people who would rather not pay for it as we completely understand, the recording is shit house.

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.

I can't wait either... give me a call when you get into town and I'll come into the city to hang. I'm living pretty far away at the moment, but will be in for the weekend while you're here. I'll hand out those flyers at shows im at until you get here too.
