“Toodar create the most beautiful multi-coloured pop music- I’m an unashamed fan…’’
Tom Robinson – BBC6 music
“An emotive piece of musical art, the track combines the vocal talents of frontman Tom, striking a similar chord to that of Elbow‘s Guy Garvey combined with the softer touches of Biffy Clyro‘s Simon Neil, an absolute pleasure to listen to”
London based duo Toodar, have spent the last four months writing and recording their new EP, We Are Wolves in a flat in North London. A set of four intensely personal pop songs, We Are Wolves is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Tom, and engineer/ producer Isabel. So is the first single off the EP set to come out through Rash Records on the 29th of October 2012.
Built around Tom’s guitar stomp and pounding drum samples, So has been Record Of The Week by Best Of British, a radio show that syndicates to 70 stations across the UK. The single also features a remix by Solid Gold Deathstar, continuing the long running remix collaboration between Toodar and JME.D (ex Pure Reason Revolutions Jamie Willcox).
Following a residency at Old Street’s Favela Chic, the duo continue to translate their records into an electric live show. Toodar were selected to entertain the crowds around the Olympic park this summer and after support slots on Cast’s UK tour and a series of London headline shows, finished the summer headlining the BBC’s second stage at Edinburgh Festival.
Having garnered the attention of The Guardian Guide, Music Week, Virgin Red Room and This Is Fake DIY, as well as support from BBC6 Music’s Tom Robinson and a showcase on Lauren Laverne’s show, XFM and BBC1xtra plays, Toodar release So in October on Rash Records.
