TORO Y MOI - Causers Of This LP

Label: Carpark

Acclaimed debut full length from Toro Y Moi from 2010. Causers Of This put Toro Y Moi (aka South Carolina's Chaz Bundick) on the map with his chilled out blend of r&b, indie, and electronic pop.

The sounds here fit in well with chillwave, but there's a little something else that puts Toro Y Moi on a level of its own. Maybe it's the cool vocal harmonies or the funky synth and guitar work, but whatever it is - it's damn catchy and very unique.

Check out the slowed down chops of "Fax Shadow," the bright laid back funk of "Talamak," the new school r&b groove of "Causers Of This," or the mellow make out beats of "Imprint After" for a taste.

That said, Causers of This is a promising album; it's well worth a spin or two if, say, you're a fan of Neon Indian in the mood for something a little more introspective, and it's reason enough to stick around for Bundick's sophomore effort. If you like these styles, also be sure to check his follow up Underneath The Pine (with that track recently featured on Entourage!).
