About

Toebow is a psych-pop party illustrated from the collective inner goofs of a close group of friends. The project was born in Brooklyn as a guitar duo, evolving and expanding over the years into a formidable high-energy quintet. Described by one reviewer as “a nice dose of shapeshifting, complex art pop” (Brooklyn Vegan), the music of Toebow shimmers with fluttering distorted guitar lines, colorfully layered percussion and bass, twinkling synth lines, and the occasional four part vocal harmony to tie the gentle chaos neatly together. Wacky by nature but severe in execution, Toebow "artfully straddles the border between sincerity and goofiness” (ThrdCoast) yet their songs often confront the more stoic and somber realms of experience. 

Toebow's founding members Nate Ulsh & Martin Zimmermann met during a stint playing in Bobby (formerly of Partisan records), and quickly established their sound as a unique force in the NYC indie music scene. Toebow’s current songwriting is a collaboration between Ulsh, Zimmermann, Jo-Anne Hyun & Olenka Burgess.
