Album Notes Founded in 2002, Los Angeles-based new new wavers Shiny Toy Guns first gained major label attention through the popular site MySpace. With a heavily synthesized 1980s-inspired pop-rock sound crossed with quirky vocal musings like "Why are the robots so sad?" and "You are the rights I can never own," Shiny Toy Guns skillfully toe the line between the heartwrenching and the comical. Their independent debut album, WE ARE PILOTS, originally recorded in 2005, now appears re-recorded with Universal's big budget behind it.
