Toadstool Shadow is “a fun, distinctly different project… The subject matter is unusual, but that in no way diminishes the quality of the material. [Toadstool Shadow’s Chris] Till is a talented songwriter, providing strong vocal melodies and musical hooks to support lyrics about Bunny’s otherworldly exploits.” -Don Thrasher, Dayton Daily News
"One of the themes of Toadstool Shadow is that there is another realm right outside of our common understanding of the world.” -Toadstool Shadow's Chris Till, quoted by Jon Solomon, Denver Westword

Get ready for New Elf City everybody! On the coming harvest moon, October 1, 2020, Toadstool Shadow will play New Elf City, a massive imaginary festival on the Moon. Along with nine other bands from around the USA, Toadstool Shadow will be imagining playing on the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. There will be a massive imaginary light show. There will be some excellent imaginary festival vendors. That's right: all the bands, light show, and vendors are real, and all will be imagining rocking the full moon on the Moon itself.

On July 2020, Toadstool Shadow's debut album Rainbow Nights was revealed unto the world. To promote the album, Toadstool Shadow buried a treasure chest in their hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The treasure chest contained antique silver coins, rubies, emeralds, jewelry, a Cadillac hood ornament, and more. Everybody who bought the album got the first of 12 clues to the buried treasure. On August 1, 2020, a pair of treasure hunters from Springfield, Ohio finally located the treasure chest. It was buried on the only island in Yellow Springs: the small street island in the middle of Center College Street.
In physical form, the Rainbow Nights CD is for sale at Tom's Market in downtown Yellow Springs, Ohio and Toadstool Shadow Bandcamp. The CD comes with a four-page foldout lyric sheet that includes the Rainbow Nights story. Rainbow Nights can also be downloaded at Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and all music download websites. Our favorite download site is Bandcamp (because we get most of the money you pay, instead of the download site!).

Toadstool Shadow's new music video "Leprechaun Man" premiered on August 28, 2020. It's a trippy story song, a travelogue that moves from Tucson to Hollywood to Felton (the small California mountain town near Santa Cruz).
