Review:

Reykjavik mag, october 2006

This spring no one knew a thing about Toggi and still no one does except that he had that song, Heart in Line, played over and over on the radio this summer. To my knowledge, Toggi has almost never played live and for the last year and a half he has been working on this album, Puppy. Toggi is one of these guys with a guitar, a nice voice and the talent to write good pop songs. When you put a band behind him he starts sounding interesting. Puppy is a good pop album that will probably be one of this year’s biggest christmas presents. Sometimes Toggi’s singing reminds me of Coldplay’s Chris Martin without saying that Toggi’s music is anything like that. But the atmosphere is similar. The tunes are easygoing and sometimes cheerful although the lyrics are often a bit sadder.

Overall Puppy is a great debut album and I’m looking forward to getting the chance to see him play live for the first time because he will be at this year’s Airwaves festival.
