Sex Toys


          It's not often that one comes across instrumental psychedelic pop infused with heavier progressive themes that can truly captivate an audience.  The brain child of Thomas Swing, Sex Toys does just that, showing to the world that abstract fusion genres that have fallen by the wayside are not dead, but rather teeming with life given by those with a desire to blend the past and the present.  The first and only piece of work put out by Sex Toys (every instrument is recorded by Swing, however the live band is comprised of members Ashley Viers, Jarrett Ross, and Thomas Swing), The Xhoenis exemplifies musicianship and the careful composition that is necessary to make each instrument serve a worthwhile purpose.
