humongouslomghonogoufungus In this one they continue to explore their excellent songwriting with ear candy enriched instrumentals that sometimes tread into post-rock territory. Reminds me of Totorro. Fantastic work. Favorite track: What Happened to the Menorah?.

Andrew S. It doesn't do anything I haven't heard before, but it does it so well. These songs are beautiful and hard earned, but don't feel worked over. It's a special record!

It nails a sad, dreamy, half-awake vibe without ever really collapsing under it or ever feeling like an out and out bummer.

Great summer at night listening. First side is full of bangers, second has some more open songs and some really nice sequencing. Favorite track: Boxcutter.

about

Dan Álvarez de Toledo and Jordan Dunn-Pilz have a special bond. Growing up in Newburyport, Massachusetts, the two were fast and unshakable friends through sleepovers, school choir practices, and discovering formative bands, to the point that now, as roommates in Brooklyn, they finish each other’s sentences. This shared history and obvious love for each other are tangible in their songwriting project TOLEDO, named after the Spanish town and Álvarez’s familial namesake.

On How It Ends, their debut album which is out September 23 via Grand Jury Music, the two dive into each other’s family histories and traumas as they navigate their own lives as twenty-something musicians. These tracks are striking for their blunt honesty but also for the way Álvarez and Dunn-Pilz’s real-life chemistry translates on record: the 12 songs are as tender as a warm hug and as clarifying as a needed reality check. This LP is the product of deep self-reflection and the necessary hard work that comes with any relationship.
