Toiling Midgets are releasing their first digital single/video on GMR, “Arachnid”, from their upcoming LP, Sea of Tranquility.

“Arachnid” is a dense guitar instrumental, reflective of much of their experimental, psych/prog/jazz/punk/post-punk/noise rock work over their 40 year history.  It is largely the work of the two main surviving group members, Craig Gray and Seattle-native Paul Hood. The single is being released in advance of their July/August tour dates in Germany and Finland.
