take us with you!
we are kicking off a series of featured artist articles running monthly and solely based on our most recent last.fm charts. first up is columbia, south carolina based graphic designer and indietronica extraordinaire chaz bundick aka toro y moi. fueled mainly by his recently released debut album, “causers of this“, on carpark records, chaz’s music caught our attention instantly with its folky infused electronic landscapes.
toro y moi’s lo-fi production aesthetic, centered around guitar riffs, piano layers, and heavily treated samples; has received critical acclaim from various related media outlets, such as bbc, pitchfork, and resident advisor (click on links for full reviews). regardless of the hype around him, we were nevertheless drawn to his music, thanks to a sonic melting pot carrying influences from the likes of “animal collective, sonic youth, j dilla, and daft punk”.
listen to the album on spotify or purchase it from either amazon or boomkat.
