Our Take

Toiling Midgets' "Four Track Mind: A Retrospective 1980-1983" is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of this experimental post-punk band. The album is a time capsule of sorts, capturing the raw energy and creativity that defined their music during this period.

From the opening track, "Living in the Bible Belt," it's clear that Toiling Midgets were a band ahead of their time. The swirling guitars and off-kilter rhythms create a sense of unease that is both captivating and disorienting. It's like being lost in a maze of sound, not quite sure where it will lead you next.

Tracks like "Eyes" and "Glass House" showcase the band's ability to blend elements of punk, noise rock, and psychedelia into a cohesive and unique sound. The vocals are haunting and the lyrics are cryptic, adding to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue that permeates the album.

While Toiling Midgets may not have achieved the same level of mainstream success as some of their contemporaries, "Four Track Mind" is a reminder of the important role they played in shaping the underground music scene of the early '80s. This retrospective is a must-listen for fans of experimental music and a fascinating glimpse into a band that was truly ahead of their time.
