The Dig's Electric Toys features production from Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Antony & the Johnsons, The Ramones, Bishop Allen) who was also at the controls for their 2007 debut EP Good Luck and Games. With the album, The Dig have crafted 12 rock songs of various shapes, sizes, and moods, linked by the band's indelible hooks. Written and arranged by all four members, the songs often tell a story: darkish tales with twisted circumstances and desperate people driven to do bad things. Mosseri and Baldwin alternate lead vocals throughout the album; Mosseri's soaring, roguish tenor takes lead on the poppier tracks, while Baldwin's raspy, weathered croon holds court on the guitar-heavy, wall-rattling anthems.
