Sugar Rush is the second studio album by the experimental rock band The Humans, consisting of Toyah Willcox, Bill Rieflin and Chris Wong.[3] It was first released in the USA on 27 September 2011 via The End Records, and then worldwide on 2 October via Willcox's Vertical Species label.

Background

Robert Fripp of King Crimson (and privately Toyah's husband) plays guitar on the album's every track.[1] Igor Abuladze joined The Humans on their 2011 US and UK tour in support of the album.[4] Promotional music video for "Sea of Size" had been released in October 2010.[5] Live at Scala London EP was made available as a free download via The Humans' official website, with a download link listed in the UK CD album's liner notes.

In 2020, Sugar Rush was re-issued by Demon Music Group in vinyl and digital formats, credited to Toyah & The Humans.[6]
