Steven Harkins of Melted Toys made us a mix.
Steven Harkins is the lead singer/guitarist of the San Francisco glistening pop-trio Melted Toys. Their Washed & Dried EP (Underwater Peoples) has been the subject of so many blogs, articles, and my own personal record player. The trio’s drum-machine driven sound wavers between Peter Hook-esque bass scales and pseudo-psychedelic neon-guitar notes. Melted Toys played our party with Jonas Reinhardt in early April, and all the kraut-nerds kept asking, “Where did you find these guys?” The mystery of guys begged more questions about their sounds and origins. So we were stoked when they agreed to submit a mix. Harkins explains “I grew up listening to half of these songs when my mom would play her records on Sundays, so they’re very close to my heart. I hope you dig!”
