Frontman, Shaun Hough says: “’April’ is about being in a relationship with someone who internalises everything and struggles to communicate. It touches on reassurance, frustration, and patience, with recurring ideas of things slipping or peeling away to reflect how connection gradually erodes.” Toy Car emerged as one of Liverpool’s most promising alternative acts long before the anticipated release of Cream last November, generating a reputation as a compelling live force capable of translating raw emotion into unforgettable performances. Graduating naturally from the local live scene to the big stages of Y Not Festival and the Isle of Wight Festival, the waves made on the road became reflective of hype elsewhere, including repeated plays on BBC Radio 1 and Radio X and a sync feature on hit domestic TV series, Made in Chelsea. The release of their debut album found Toy Car delivering on the promise that they’d showed by generating such influential support and committing to the road miles of nationwide gigging. With new dates being pencilled in, more and bigger audiences will soon discover the band’s flair for balancing emotionally candid lyricism with frequently explosive guitar-led musicianship. Recorded and mixed by Sugar House Productions, responsible for releases by artists including The K’s, Viola Beach, Corella, The Feens and many more, and mastered by Graeme Lynch (Ladytron, The Coral, Brooke Combe), April captures the sustained immediacy of a band still eager to move further forward, capturing the urgency that defined their debut year.
