Künstler-Biographie
Chicago's the Island of Misfit Toys issue an expansive brand of indie rock that may be best but not thoroughly described as chamber punk-pop. With membership approaching double digits, they add melodic percussion, brass, violin, banjo, accordion, and more to traditional rock band instrumentation, in support of theatrical songs by leader Anthony Sanders that reach into rap, experimental rock, and acoustic balladry, just for starters. The group's debut album, Bear Hair, was released in 2011, followed two years later by the EP Furiouser & Furiouser. The Island of Misfit Toys released their sophomore full-length, I Made You Something, in 2015. ~ Marcy Donelson
