Might Not (demo)

Corcovado

A curse on you then DOWN THE HATCH
A hex on your efforts

It starts bad/it starts bad
With the opening and closing of your jaws
It gets worse/it gets worse
I vomit on your songform wholesale

Do you want FAILURE
Accustomed to disappointment
Artless/squealing/bitter/fucking HACK

Throw your music in the:
Moloch mouth

Moloch Mouth

06 Goblin March

Lyrics McArthur/(Stonestreet)

Chewing on holograms
Neon stained teeth
Cells are revolting
Thinning saliva
(Don't doubt its influence
Direct to the die
The spheres exanding)

I don't need friends I need marionettes
You don't need friends you need marionettes
Whosoever says or THINKS they need friends - MARIONETTES
I don't need friends I need marionettes

Jekyll Island (2011)

1. The Summer Was Over by Faith Eliott (who is also all over the new Meursault album).
2. Dear God  by Siobhan Wilson (whose debut album is out in July and who also sang loads on Imaginary Walls Collapse by Adam Stafford.
3. Rut by Lush Purr (Emma on bass and vocals is someone we've known and been pals with for ages, having initially met when she played in the (brilliant) Yawns).
4. Let's Save Christmas (The Ballad of Nakatomi Plaza) by eagleowl (Clarissa on upright double bass and vocals is the obvious one here, but the Canaveral Choir, and Tallah were also crucial to this awesome, ridiculous song).
5. Dive-bombing by Modern Studies (album no.2 on the way soon, as well as an orchestral extravaganza planned for the Edinburgh Festival).
6. The Fix is in by Meursault (Robyn's screeching, distorted violin is crucial to this song in particular, but also to the intensity of the current live show).
7. Unshaven Boozer by David Thomas Broughton & Juice Vocal Ensemble (It takes quite something to be on the verge of upstaging DTB on his own album, but Sarah, Kerry and Anna are fucking phenomenal on this album).
8. The One Where the Stripper Cries by Sex Hands (Recording this was the first time I met drummer Eilidh, who also plays in the fantastic Sacred Paws and works in Monorail Music).
9. Darkness by Sparrow and the Workshop (I miss these guys - Jill has one of the best voices I have ever heard). 
10. Japan by Magic Eye (Both Rebecca and Roma from this band could sing the shit out of a song, and Bek is a fantastic guitarist too).
11. This is All Going to End Badly by Trips and Falls (Amanda, Julie and Ashleigh were absolutely vital components of this gloriously eccentric band - I miss this lot too!)
12. I'm Half the Man You Were by Jesus H. Foxx (Tallah who sang and played cornet with these guys has been a friend and collaborator for something like ten years now and has made a massive contribution to the world of Scottish music over the years).
13. Sex Acts by Animal Magic Tricks (Frances is possibly one of the greatest talents we've worked with over the years, and my general inability to get this across to the world at large feels like one of my greatest mistakes).
14. Basketball Land by Le Thug (Cleo is another with an absolutely crystal-clear, beautiful voice - hopefully these guys will record more with us in future, because they are fantastic).

And there we go, and that's before we talk about Foon Yap, Ailie from Passion Pusher, L.T. Lief, Sophie Dodds and WOLF all of whom we will be working with in the fairly immediate future.

Then there's also people like Nora Winstanley, Claire Grandemange, as well as photographers like Nic Rue, Alex Storm Hague, and the new team at the label which includes the incredible Kate Lazda and Anastasia Connor.

I can't list all the women who have supported our stuff in the press, played amazing shows for us, recorded Toad Sessions or guested on various recordings because I will never be able to remember everyone - sorry. 

And then of course there is the incomparable Mrs. Toad - the great love of my life and the funder, encourager and Grand Matriarch of all we do here.
