"Musically sophisticated and immensely talented, wildly unusual and diverse in material and presentation, a Dada-esque circus carnival run amuck, and just plain good 'not-always-so-clean' fun" - Boston Survival Guide
NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE
"Sickert and the Toys broadcast the sound of hapless, doe-eyed innocence gazing into the abyss - which counterintuitively makes for highly enjoyable listening." - The Boston Phoenix
"Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys (or, if you're feeling concise, the Army of Toys) brings a big, baroque sound that makes emotional desperation the stuff of epics and sea-chanteys." - The Weekly Dig

28 Seeds (2010)
"This album is a keeper because, even considered apart from their context, the songs are not only idiosyncratically gorgeous but often brilliantly splendid. I point to deeply affecting laments like 'M Is for Martyr,' 'Porcelain Heads' and the sad-to-antic 'Gone In a Flash.' And to emotionally wrenching numbers such as 'Glass Guillotine' and 'Wintermission.' And, best of all (never has a xylophone been used to better effect), to the invigorating and frantically descriptive classic 'The Sky Is Falling.'. " - (Francis DiMenno - The Noise)

Casualty Menagerie (2009)
"There is a curious blend of mischief and morbidity in Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys, as the duo of Sickert and Edrie are called. They garnish their ominous doom-folk with the theatricality of a demonic circus troupe. Past performances have included storytellers, fire-eaters, glass-eaters, contortionists and, of course, Edrie's broken toy army" - Boston Herald (2009)

Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys (2007)
"Taken as a whole, the 13 track CD is epic poetry exploring the black pit of human despair. ...the sweet cooing of Edrie is the perfect haunting echo to Walter's murderous howl. Soul-crushing heartbreak never sounded so good." - (Lexi Kahn) Low Budget Super Hero 2007
