I Ya Toyah, from darkwave to… hot sauces + new album
(Photo by Babiracki Images / Krzysztof Babiracki) The rather talented Chicago-based industrial darkwave artist I Ya Toyah has launched a new line of exclusive, limited-edition hot sauces, inspired by her recent EP, “I Am The Fire”. These sauces were initially available only during I Ya Toyah’s recent American tour with Orgy and Cold, but are now also available online via her Bandcamp page.
The “I Am The Fire” hot sauces include:
- Pop Your Cherry: A tart cherry explosion with coffee, spice, and citrus notes, culminating in a palate-filling heat.
- Tropical Tease: Fragrant West Indies curry combined with a tropical taste.
- Safe Word: Scorch: Sun-kissed pineapple with agave, ginger, and cumin, followed by the intense heat of 7 Pot Primo pepper.
Apart from sauces, there is also music news as she announces a ew full-length album, “Drama”, which is set for release on October 4th. The album was co-produced and mixed by Walter Flakus of Stabbing Westward and features new material as well as tracks from her “I Am The Fire” EP.
You can check the video from the excellent track “Denial” below.
