Now signed to Zombie Nation’s Blue Note Records, the title track from second album “Black Toys” leads Zombie Nation’s back-to-school campaign. Black Toys isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. While no new Zombie Nation album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 2006 tour in Australia. To me Zombie Nation is the best band ever.
In Black Toys the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. All Or Nothing without a doubt is the standout song of Black Toys. Zombie Nation offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. No Zombie Nation song has come close to capturing my attention as Don’t Touch did. Music in Slomo is gorgeous as in all tracks of Black Toys. Pesce & Greed is the funkiest number on the album. Monolove (Snakas) is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Music and lyrics of Taxi Extreme creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. In Paang Paang Zombie Nation is at his best. I love the melodic melody of Talks and to this day it makes me feel good. Although Black Toys (Orange Mix) is very melodic it is far from sad.
