Smart kids need dance music too. Chaz Bundick delivers more than that on his second full-length, Underneath the Pine. A warm, electro-pop affair that leans on the past for inspiration, the album is filtered through an analog lens with groovy beats and ambient immediacy. Combining some of the best elements of chillwave (think Neon Indian) with a deep immersion into sonic textures of yesteryear (think Deerhunter but for dance/pop music), Toro y Moi comes off as the coolest, smartest, grooviest disco-technician in the neighborhood. The new beat, indeed. Enjoy the music video for second single "Still Sound." (Yes, the album cover is a little creepy--Bundick took a self-photo in the mirror as he ate some delicious grapefruit).
