Breaking radio silence to post “The Crunch” by Toy Love, primarily because it doesn’t appear to be online in any easy-to-digest format, and I want my bandmate Mark to hear it.
Although: I have covered Toy Love frontman Chris Knox in these pages before. I called him the best songwriter alive, primarily due to his incredible sense of pop economy crossed with what I guess you’d call sincerity or emotional heft. It’s still pretty probable that he is my favorite, but after watching this incredible video of a newly-comebacked D’Angelo literally burning the entire arena to the ground and making everyone on earth start crying with a song that consists of little more than four notes, four words, and and a bunch of awesome wailing, I think I have some thinking to do about economy v. emotional heft.
