Formerly of early �00s dance-pop favorites Moloko and creator of some of that decade�s most adventurous solo electronic music albums, the unmistakable Rosin Murphy returns with her new album Hairless Toys on May 12th. For once the clich�s of �eager anticipation� and �welcome return� are not misplaced. Her first album in 8 years, Hairless Toys is a career defining tour de force. Tipping its hat to the dark disco of European house music, Casablanca Records and Grace Jones, while seamlessly taking in the freedom and organic spirit of jazz and gospel.

More Details

The genesis of Hairless Toys lies in last year’s Mi Senti EP, a release mainly of covers, all sung in Italian, a collaboration between Roisin, her partner Sebastiano Properzi, and Eddie Stevens. This”very adult-orientated Disco”, channeling Edith Piaf through Studio 54, was a release that reminded us of a creative free spirit with a voice and direction unmistakably her own.

Roisin Murphy has developed a truly engaged and loyal fanbase over the past 15 years, one that shares a love of iconic experimental female artists such as Bjork, Lykke Li, Goldfrapp and Sia. Hardly surprising then that the reaction from the online press community to the announcement of Hairless Toys was nothing short of stellar with coverage from Pitchfork, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, Brooklyn Vegan, and more.
