A man baptized in the mire, Ohio-native Todd Holler possesses an extraordinary talent for utilizing amphibious elements and swamp-like textures as fundamental components of his experimental bass alias. Toadface expresses a fierce sense of individuality and an appetite for breaking the mold, effortlessly melding elaborate sound design and creative ingenuity with noteworthy releases that stretch as far back as 2013 with the release of his debut Black EP.
Ancient Arts, his latest marsh-endeavor courtesy, further depicts the prolific depth and innovative propensity that Toadface brandishes with ease. As the project unfolds, each track divulges a newly hidden crevice or concealed alcove of the bog, equipped with a disarray of terrestrial croaks and chirps that rest soothingly on the ears.
