Second album by Shiny Toy Guns
Season of Poison is the second
studio album by
American
indie rock band
Shiny Toy Guns . It was released on November 4, 2008 through
Universal Motown Records Group . It peaked at #47 on the
Billboard Hot 100 the following week. The album introduced the band's 3rd female vocalist,
Sisely Treasure .
[5] The album featured two singles: "
Ricochet! " and "
Ghost Town ".
Season of Poison generated far less hype than
We Are Pilots and failed to sell well, resulting in a low sales count of 60,000 copies. In 2009,
Jeremy Dawson admitted via Shiny Toy Guns' official website that while he believes Season of Poison is a great album, it was indeed too different too soon, and promised a return to their electronic roots for the band's third album.
