TOLEDO is gearing up for the release of their debut album, How It Ends, which Grand Jury will release on September 23rd. Following “L-Train”, the indie-folk duo has since returned with “Flake.”
It’s another sprawling and delicate piece of folk that sounds modern yet timeless, full of a wide-eyed sensibility, full of hope, and wonder, as well as a bit of introspection. It’s simply a gorgeous piece.
Speaking to “Flake”, TOLEDO writes:
“It’s one step forward, two steps back. Sometimes when you feel like you’re heading in the right direction, you slip up and fall back into old habits. You only have yourself to blame, but aren’t your parents to blame for how you end up? It’s really a fuck you to myself and my dad. Our legacy of shit. Sonically it’s Barenaked Ladies meets Fleetwood Mac. And that’s Twitch live streamer Dakotaz in the opening of the song! Accidentally caught in the recording crossfire.”
