Toebow was formed by veterans of the NYC music scene, including members of BOBBY and Zula. Themes is the full-length follow up to their debut EP, Spirit Mane. The Brooklyn-based psych-pop band showcase a tapestry of positive, upbeat sounds, often odd and unexpected, but remain palatable and accessible. Quirky guitar lines flutter over bouncy bass and intricate percussion, while smooth male/female vocal harmonies, lush synth lines, and the occasional drum machine tie the gentle chaos together neatly.

Themes is a tasting plate of Toebow's distinct flavors. Wacky by nature but severe in execution, Toebow "artfully straddle the border between sincerity and goofiness" (ThrdCoast), yet their songs often confront the more stoic and sometimes somber sides of their experience.

The band name "Toebow" was the name of their first song, and was loosely designed to be an abstraction of the music's feelings: meaningless yet phonetically profound, abstract yet familiar, the name is devoid of association yet indicative of Toebow's overall cartoon sonic template.

The songs on their new album summarize the themes of Toebow, comprising the fundamental tenets of the band's serious yet playful sound.
