Magic Toy Missing is a duo based in Zurich, Switzerland that classifies itself as somewhere between indie pop and rock.
(I assume the band name was inspired by the Meat Puppets song, but I have not seen it definitively declared, and I wouldn't guess it based on sound. It just seems like too big of a coincidence to be otherwise.)
They remind me a great deal of a band I reviewed last year, Sound of Su. Unfortunately, they are not familiar enough to give anyone else a good idea. It might be more helpful to say to imagine a quieter, gentler Cranberries.
There is a quietness and unease present in the music. Lyrics are delivered softly, except for a rap solo that surprises on "Goodbye To All Of You".
There is a tensely insistent rhythm on "Got Away".
Their self-titled album was released close in time to when I reviewed Sound of Su. I don't know if that influenced the follow, but there does not seem to have been a lot of activity on any of the accounts for some time.
Well, it's not like life went as planned for most of us last year.
Music is available on Spotify and Bandcamp.
