Toyah
The Blue Meaning
Genre: Kate Bush if much much weirder
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Leya
She
A second Toyah album in one year and boy is it something to behold. It’s confident and weird and determined and I have no idea what any of the songs are about but, to steal from my favorite book of the era, listening to this is like like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.
I would probably soak that in a towel first, however.
All the aggressive weirdness sort of runs out of steam by Side Two, though, and it feels like it would have been better as an EP. But then I would have never heard it.
