Toy Surprise is always Henry Snyder (Public Luxuries) and Maxton Stenstrom (Infinitefreefall, Youth Spells). Henry wrote lyrics and most of the music, played most of the bass guitar, and did most of the singing on most of the songs. Maxton wrote most of the rest of the music, produced, programmed, played various instruments, and sang. Most bits were recorded individually by the various contributing musicians, at their homes or elsewhere, sent to and fro via the world wide web, and stirred together (and modified, sometimes beyond recognition) by Maxton and Henry.

In addition to Henry and Maxton, this Toy Surprise album features various combinations of the fine individuals listed below in alphabetical order.
