Broken Hearts are for assholes, but hey, at one time or another, we can all be assholes too. 'Toys' explores a few of the possibilities. Toy's are those things that best be left alone, less one delves into the deep recesses of their heartbreak to extract their muse. If one can't write a song, it's better to just move along to the next life adventure. Recorded between 2007 and 2011 in Sacramento, California, in living rooms, basements, bathrooms and actual recording studios. Mixed and Mastered as you hear it by Nertz Karangyai, September, 2011
