Description
Marking their first new material of 2026, Alien Chicks are back with a glorious new EP 'Toys Taken At Birth' - available on CD as well as gloriously limited glow in the dark vinyl (strictly limited to 500 copies ever in this version), with recent standout Live EP 'Live At The Windmill' included on the B Side. 'Toys Taken at Birth' is about the injustice that leaves some people with everything and some with nothing.
Power doesn't present itself cleanly; it leaks through spectacle and symbolism - flags appearing overnight on high streets, headlines flipping within hours, slogans that feel less like belief and more like control tactics nobody agreed to. Even everyday life starts to feel slightly repurposed, like familiar things have been quietly reassigned for a different agenda.
The songs on the EP sit inside that pressure rather than observing it. They move through frustration, satire and escalation, where authority gets exaggerated into something almost grotesque, but still recognisably real. Language starts to buckle under repetition, meaning gets worn down by exposure, and everything feels like it's happening at you rather than around you.
And then they do a Missy Elliott cover. Cos you might as well get your freak on!
