LP pressed on blood red vinyl housed in deluxe gatefold sleeve with digital download card. Toydrum are a duo who sneak into the consciousness. Not for them the full frontal assault but instead a drip- feed of classy work that many may know without knowing. Their hugely acclaimed work with the late singer-songwriter Gavin Clark lit up Shane Meadows’ This Is England ‘90, their rework of John Lennon’s How Do You Sleep led Noel Gallagher to have them remix his High Flying Birds hit In The Heat Of The Moment (which in turn soundtracked last year’s epic ad for the latest Assassin’s Creed game). The swirling soundtrack to Prevenge cranks up the tension in the film, which evokes the hypnotic Goblin synth scores from Dario Argento’s vintage-era chillers and adds a touch of unearthly, sci-fi magic. The icy, stabbing synths of Toydrum’s excellent score aptly reflect the deliberately unpolished nature of the film.
