\"Toyface<\/p>\n

Bristol based duo Tamsyn and James, formed their duo, “Toyface” after a chance encounter on a truck, in which Tamsyn had hitched a lift on her way home from\u00a0Secret Garden Party festival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pair quickly formed a close bond, eventually playing the same festival together after telling the organisers their story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo have been described as a cross between\u00a0Laura Marling and Billie Holliday and are now set to release their first album, thanks to a dedicated fan who made a huge contribution in\u00a0crowd-funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Debut album ‘Follow The Rules Of The Trainwreck’, due for release on May 18th, is a\u00a0<\/span>varied collection of 11 songs, with\u00a0strong jazz and cinematic leanings. It’s a work of thought-provoking originality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tamsyn, whose lyrical style shows her ability to speak\u00a0honestly about the common human experience, is quoted as saying the album: “<\/span>charts a process of experiencing, coping with, and the eventual resolution of, existential angst that I went through in my early 20s”; by way of heartbreak, physical insecurity and complex family ties.”<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Follow The Rules Of The Trainwreck’ by Toyface is due for release on May 18th.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyface will be performing live on May 17th at\u00a0<\/span>The Magic Garden, Battersea, London\u00a0details\u00a0Here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
