With their second album due out this autumn, Order of the Toad have returned with their lead single Lady's Mantle. Released via Gringo Records and Reckless Yes, it is digitally released on all platforms now.
The supergroup of Gemma Fleet (The Wharves) and Robert Sotelo (Upset The Rhythm) and Christopher Taylor have returned with their unique styles to traverse topics such as past lives, conception and fate.
Gloriously pastiche, they evoke the Syd Barret, Fairport Convention and Jefferson Airplane on this exploration folk-cum-psyche adventure. Yet, via Fleet's vocals, they manage to fresh enough to warrant the alternative music lover of today's attention. She splices in punk of her label mates Bugeye and a resilient but cute level of pop heaven.
Definitely ones to look out for this fall. Their music is available on their Bandcamp page.
