While the official "release date" remains May 15, 2020, we decided to make it available to the public a bit early, to give our Covid-Quarantined community something positive to listen to during this bizarre moment in our shared history. </p>
<p>Compositionally, we look at this album as 10 little musical vignettes, with each song telling a tale and bringing the listener on a poetic musical journey. The title track "Hello Pariah" is a bit of a rocker that talks about repeatedly encountering our own personal demons, as we move along on our paths: “Cellophane, and a pain of glass, I see right through you at last,” and then, with a rousing cry: “The meek don’t need to get ready. They’re already living in the land of plenty!”</p>
<p>“Off The Plot” is a showcase of contrasts. It bounces back and forth between Baroque-style string arrangements in the verses, but then drops like dynamite on the chorus’, with a four-on-the floor groove that'll shake you awake.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, “Guernsey Witches,” tells the true tale of a culture built around witchcraft, in the English Channel Islands. Here, the homes are still built with stones on the roof for witches to rest on, lest they enter the home and never leave.</p>
<p>Check it out for yourselves, and let us know your thoughts! You can download the album here in the "Store," or listen on any music platform that you like. </p>
<p>Enjoy!!!!</p>

Shortly after the release of the video for "Do Everything You Can Before You're Dead" back in April, TTC singer and mandolin player Peter Fand was invited to join the Cirque du Soleil show "Kooza" for a tour in South America and Australia. This 9-month engagement offered lots of opportunities for some fine music-making with the great "Kooza" band, and countless adventures in the wilds of those stunning continents. He will be wrapping up that tour in March, and all eyes will turn to TTC's Las Vegas home base, as the band prepares to start recording their next release! New music is on the way this year, and we can't wait to share it.<br><br>Meanwhile, last week in Melbourne, Fand took a moment to make this live-studio video with fellow Kooza cast member Kevin Johnson. We've always loved this song by Norah Jones, and it seems more relevant now then ever. Enjoy. <p><a contents="My Dear Country - featuring Peter Fand and Kevin Johnson, live from Melbourne" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqDcb0DGuXI">My Dear Country - featuring Peter Fand and Kevin Johnson, live from Melbourne</a></p>Tin Toy Carstag:www.tintoycars.net,2005:Post/40815062016-03-10T01:21:10-08:002022-09-06T03:25:15-07:00Video LaunchWe're very proud to announce the launch of our new video for the song "Do Everything You Can Before You're Dead." This was a mighty ambitious project, that took us to five location around Vegas. At one point I was buried in the ground, in a coffin, in Woodlawn Cemetery. It was a bit of a Kill Bill moment. We had Cirque du Soleil Acrobats surrounding us, skydivers falling around us in the desert, and more. Quite a scene.

After many months of labor, we've just finished the new album. These songs emerged over the last year or so, some with just a word or phrase, others with a little mandolin line or a melody, and now they live together side by side in the collection we call "Falling, Rust and Bones." It's pretty cool watching these things take shape, sitting in the studio making little choices that change the direction of a composition, or adjusting a word that gives new depth to a lyric. And now, alas, it's complete, and it will soon leave our hands and go into yours. We're psyched to share it with you, and hopefully there will be bits that you want to listen to more than once…and find yourself singing along to in the car. <br><br>Meanwhile, we're putting the finishing touches on a video for the song "Do Everything You Can Before You're Dead," which is going to be hot. The production of this video was a bit epic, shot on a Red Dragon in some awesome locations. The release date has not yet been announced, so check back here for updates.Tin Toy Cars
