First Date by Toro y Moi
Chaz Bundick has been hard at work over the past few years releasing some amazing, genre-bending music for our fickle ears to consume. "First Date," a track off of Chaz’s 2010 EP Leave Everywhere seems to fall squarely in that category of music.
Dead Pontoon by Toro y Moi
New, old, or previously unreleased track from Chaz Bundick or as we all know him as Toro y Moi, taken from his forthcoming June 2009 (coincidentally, the same month we first heard the man’s work) archival 7” vinyl box set. It chronicles some of the early, pre-Causers of This recordings that we were so fond of back in the day. (via GORILLA VS. BEAR)
Low Shoulder by Toro y Moi
I think it's time for some Chaz Bundick music to finally kick-off this lazy Sunday afternoon. I'm not sure why I chose him but I have this feeling that it's just appropriate. Well he does carry the Toro y Moi name and chillwave is his game. "Low Shoulder" is a single off his debut album, Causers Of This, a large cut of ambient samples and dreamy synths together with bumpy percussion and hazy vocals. A collection of slow and soulful but still danceable.
Though everything I said above was of being chill, the video beneath it is the complete and extreme opposite. Directed by Elisha Smith-Leverock and Chris Murdoch, "a girl makes her way to an eerie dinner, helps herself to a cup of coffee, passes out (which should be the other way around when drinking coffee) and wakes up only to find out that she is now a part and the focal point of a nightmarish Satanic ritual ceremony (via Pitchfork)." Good thing I'm not a fan of coffee.
New Beat (Star Slinger Dancehall Mix) by Toro Y Moi
Remix master Star Slinger got to work on Toro y Moi's track called "New Beat" and now it is out for the people to be heard. Instead of opting for the typical dance beat, he went with a more unique style of 'riddim' which is more danchehall/reggae. Stream and download after the skip.
