New music: Toy – Motoring

Three members of Toy used to be in Joe Lean & the Jing Jang Jong – a band who were propelled so quickly from obscurity to the cover of the NME and then back to obscurity that they didn't actually get round to releasing their debut album . But don't let that put you off: Toy are a much better proposition. Out go the weedy indie and chiselled cheekbones and in come tinges of psychedelia and krautrock, mixed with so much hair that the video at times resembles a 1970s shampoo advert, each band member keen to show off that perfect sheen. With just one double A-side single to their name – last year's excellent Left Myself Behind/Clock Chime – the band have already toured with like-minded bands such as S.C.U.M and the Horrors, obviously finding a kinship in their love of black clothes and 80s indebted goth-tinged post-punk. The aptly-titled Motoring is their second single and sounds a lot like something from the Horrors' second album Primary Colours, all spidery basslines, metronome-sharp drums and slithers of synth mixing with singer Tom Dougall's blank vocals. For the video – premiered here exclusively – the five-piece perform in front of a black screen as various effects and filters create blurred and multiple shots of the band. Motoring is released on Heavenly Records on 16 April
