Justin Carroll-Allan gets you ready for summer love, breaking down Toro Y Moi's "A Girl Like You."
| Pop a Cap: Toro y Moi Releases ‘Samantha’ via DropBox | September 2, 2015 |
Spring for the more luxurious candle
| Where the Buffalo Roam: New Toro y Moi | March 13, 2015 |
Chaz is back with two new singles off of his upcoming album "What For?"
| Toro y Moi – “Campo” | September 10, 2013 |
Relatively quiet as kept, Toro y Moi has made the biggest strides of any young songwriter. A few years ago, his songs felt like wispy pretty sketches, insubstantial enough to get wiped out in the next chillwave. Since then, he absorbed the lessons of Dungen and Dam-Funk, merged them with always salient affection for J […]
| Toro y Moi Pays No Mind | March 25, 2013 |
I wholeheartedly endorse Toro y Moi’s decision to full on embrace smoked out boogie funk. A totally awesome decision and the Dam Funk refreak of “Say That” makes too much sense (see below the jump). In summary: flea markets > thrift shops. Toro y Moi > Everything called chillwave in 2010. Puppies > Everything. Chaz […]
| The Les Sins of Toro Y Moi | March 8, 2013 |
Max Bell prefers to speak Flemish. Kool Keith had Dr. Octagon (and Black Elvis and Dr. Doom and other names I’m forgetting). RZA had Bobby Digital. Mos Def has rechristened himself Yasiin Bey—I still call him Mos Def. And before there was MF Doom there was KMD’s Zev Love X. Basically, music, and rap music […]
| Toro y Moi – “Saturday Love” | July 27, 2011 |
This is the chillwaviest photo in the history of chillwavington, the beach resort that spawned this branding agreement/genre. I don’t think that Toro y Moi makes chillwave. I think that he makes funk music and I will continue to think that, as to preserve my enjoyment of it. I should probably be posting this on […]
| Sach O: Odd Future – French (Toro Y Moi remix) | March 2, 2011 |
You can check Sach O’s French all you want, he speaks it fluent. Jeff and Douglas swear by Chaz Bundick’s recorded output whereas I’m rather apathetic to his kind of cloudy, dusty, lounge-funk and most stuff that’s emerged since Chillwave’s initial umm…wave. Too slow and I prefer my yacht-related music with more RAWSE. Still, I’d […]
| Douglas Martin’s Dirty Shoes: Toro y Moi Goes Underneath the Pine, Over Chillwave’s Head | February 17, 2011 |
Douglas Martin is pretty chill, bro. Regardless of how you felt about Causers of This, nobody can convincingly deny that it was a zeitgeist-grabber. Through Chaz Bundick’s outstanding musical ear, the debut full-length of his solo project Toro y Moi added a glitzy layer of synthetic sheen to the hissy four-tracks that contemporaries Washed Out […]
| Douglas Martin’s Dirty Shoes: It’s For You! | May 4, 2010 |
Douglas Martin has traded in his guitars for a sampler, shutter shades, and an Urban Outfitters dress shirt to be named later. I’m not sure if you all received the memo, but chillwave is kind of a big thing right now. With Washed Out touring with Beach House and Neon Indian teaming up with Mountain […]
