History

[edit]

Formation

[edit]

Pablo Clements and James Griffith met in 2007 while both were members of the electronic music group UNKLE.[1] They left the group in 2012 and subsequently began working together as Toydrum.[2] The duo's work has since focused primarily on composition and music production for film and television,[2] alongside their own recorded music.[3] Their studio, the Toy Rooms, is in Brighton, England.[4]

Career

[edit]

Toydrum's most notable television work includes the Apple TV+ series Slow Horses,[5] for which they co-compose the score with Daniel Pemberton.[6] The music for the third and fifth seasons received Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.[7][8] The series' music has also received nominations at the BAFTA Television Awards and Ivor Novello Awards.[9][10][11][12]

Other television credits include the Netflix sports documentary Untold: Vinnie Jones, the Disney+ music documentary Camden, the Amazon series Three Pines, the AMC science fiction drama Soulmates, the Sky and HBO thriller-comedy Two Weeks to Live, the ITV thriller Deep Water, which featured a title song recorded in collaboration with singer-songwriter Beth Orton, and the ITV dramas Tell Me Everything and Platform 7.[2][13][14]

In film, Toydrum have collaborated with the director and actress Alice Lowe on the scores for Prevenge and Timestalker.[15][16] Both soundtracks were released by Invada Records.[17][14]

Other film credits include London Fields, Future World, A Guide to Second Date Sex, Sweetheart, The Banishing, and Detour, which was shortlisted for Best Score at the British Independent Film Awards.[18][19][20][21]

Toydrum have also released music as recording artists, including the EP Distant Focus Vol. 1, which featured collaborations with artists including Gavin Clark, followed by the full-length album Evangelist.[22] Music from Evangelist was used in the soundtracks of Shane Meadows' television series This Is England '90 and The Virtues.[23][24][25][26]

Their subsequent releases include My Eye on You (To Reinvision), an album of reworked Gavin Clark songs featuring Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, and Trentemøller; and Fields of Madness, a collection of instrumental compositions featuring collaborations with Alex Maas from the Black Angels and James Bagshaw from Temples.[3][27][28]
