The Lovely Amphibian EP is similar in style to Hot Pink Happiness. The song "Let Me Glow" was originally intended to be on the forth-coming full-length, but it would have seemed out of place due to its relatively simple arrangement, so I decided to release it on this EP. The second part of "Dog Whistle" shows me testing out a new noise-making set-up I've been experimenting with. It's not perfected, but it should get alot more interesting once I add a few more pedals. Overall, Lovely Amphibian is basically a teaser for my next major undertaking, so look for that sometime before the end of summer.

Noise For Summer Nights EP
The noise on this EP was created using a much different approach than my previous noise works. All sounds here are generated via my computer. To me, these pieces feel somewhat nostalgic.

Senorita You Broke My Heart
I was happy to assist Aaron in the creation of Senorita You Broke My Heart, but I really had nothing to do with its conception. Basically, Aaron (in Seattle) would let me know what he wanted from me (in Detroit) and I would upload for him. The result is a bulky transmission of wild west deconstructionism for the 21st century.
Draw! (uploading difficulties occurred. i'll try again later.)
The Second Alphabet Album (XYZ)
Week Of Weird Calls EP
Shit Through The Blood And Onto The Plate EP
In Secret Winter
In Secret Winter is an album-long noise piece that aims for creativity over good ol' fashioned pummeling. After all, His Disconess would rather be an artist than a sadist. The concept to do this record came to me while I was on a middle-of-the-night walk during the biggest snowstorm of the season. On my headphones I was listening to Prurient for the very first time. In Secret Winter could be called the blood-thirsty bastard spawn of Sons of Sam, but then again it's is probably best interpreted out of context.

Hot Pink Happiness EP
The Hot Pink Happiness EP was intended to be a fresh take on the genre of noise-pop. This is the first Toad Disco release to feature noise as a prominent component of my sound. I often feel like this is my first proper release, and that everything that came before it was just a warm-up. Cum On Feel Tha Noize.
The Alphabet Album (ABC)
The Alphabet Album is a purge of 26 recordings (A-Z) made in late 2007. The concept was to create and release music without over-thinking it (the major flaw of MIWN). ABC covers many stylistic ranges and sound ideas. The result is a scrap-yard album bursting with spontaneity.
Includes covers of "Snowstorm" by Galaxie 500 and "Still Ill" by The Smiths.
Red Giant EP
Math Is White Noise
Well, here it is folks, my debut full-length. Sadly, I still feel that it's release was somewhat of a compromise, but I suppose that if it wasn't, the damn thing would never have been finished. The sessions lasted from spring 2007 into early 2008. It's got drone-fests, noise-spurts, catchy hooks, electronic instrumentals, a capella ditties, and soaring melodica lines like you ain't nevah heard. Listen and learn, bitchez.

Laziness
Sorry I haven't updated this in forever. I'll try to get on that. I'll also be switching the sendspace links to zshare, as zshare links apparently last way longer. In other news: I recently released in EP entitled "Noise For Summer Nights." That will be available for download soon in addition to everything else. The new album is coming along at snails pace, but only because I'm trying to spend more time on each song, getting the arrangements just right and everything. Unfortunately, I'm still working on the first song ;) Suckas.
