With a unique indie-rock meets synth-pop sound, and a mad max approach to touring (touted as the first band to tour Alaska by ground), Shiny Toy Guns had already been touring for 2 years before their re-worked studio release of “We Are Pilots” in 2006. The Album earned the quartet a Grammy nomination, and a number of hit singles, including “Le disko”, “Rainy Monday” and “You are the One”, all of which remain a staple in the soundtrack of my life.
The group kept busy in 2008 and 2009 releasing “Season of
Poison”; which featured hit singles “Ricochet and “Ghost Town” as well as a
compilation album “Girls Le Disko” featuring collaborations with
some of EDMs most notable artists like Hervé, Ferry Corsten, and
Kissy Sell Out.
The group went on to find their music in an unbelievable
number of placements in film, television and videogames. Over the
recent years, I have been able to find Shiny Toy Guns signature sound
everywhere, including games like Guitar Hero and Grand Theft Auto, A
Smurfs feature film, and countless network television shows like Gossip
Girl, Ugly Betty and Dancing with the Stars. Most
noteably was a Lincoln MKZ as, which featured their rendition of the ’80s
classic “Major Tom (Coming Home), which won awards in the ad community, and
garnered over 600,000 digital sales of the song.
Today, I find myself, looking down the barrel of a Shiny
Toy Guns third studio album, simply titled “III”. This album marks
the return of the original members, and has Shiny Toy Guns fans, like myself,
feverishly monitoring the countdown they have posted on their official website. If
the singles “Fading and Listening” and “Waiting Alone” are any indication of
what to expect, I will undoubtedly be prepared to make room in my life soundtrack
for more Shiny Toy Guns.
