Toy Light Sightless, Unless

Saturated with a dark romanticism and a deep sense of melancholy,
Sightless, Unless is the encompassing new release by Los Angeles
producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Toy Light. The artist’s
vaporous falsetto free-floats over an impetuous low end throughout
the album, shimmering pale with passion as a moody guitar
searches for solace. Newborn tracks evolve from elegant simplicity
into complex emotional beings, molten mutations of discord and
experimentation.
“Birth Archive” soothes as it stimulates, luring the listener into the
dissonance with unbridled design. “Entwined” is apprehensive
yet approachable, and unspeakable anguish inhabits “Hiss of the
Womb.” Impossibly light and intensely moving, “Aporia” slips through
viscous echoes into a spellbound state. “At Dusk / New Sun” faces
you like fate, pensive and shadowed, decaying in order to transform.
Lacerated with emotion, Sightless, Unless goes far beyond words
to touch the truths of humanity whose unending glare we try
desperately to avoid. It is an expression of exquisite existential pain
and disturbing beauty, created by an artist whose intricate talent has
marked a new space in the post-genre sphere.
