My New Band Believe
As the bassist and sometime frontman of black midi, Cameron Picton and his bandmates practiced an explosive form of musical world-building, weaving complex storytelling through thrilling passages of controlled chaos. When the group called it quits in 2023, the artist didnt immediately feel like making a solo record or jumping back into another band.

Burning through 10 absolute bangers in under 40 minutes, Your Favorite Toy demands and rewards repeat listens in equal measure. Its Foo Fighters pushing boundaries as they pin the volume meters, adding new dimensions to their timeless signature sound.
