The Kool Kids

Sometimes you have to adjust the music you listen to the day of the week. And as that goes for a Sunday, it means that some relaxing music would be appropriate. And we think we have exactly the right artist for you to come through this day with ease. That artist’s name is no other than Toro Y Moi.

Toro Y Moi is the solo project of The Heist and The Accomplice lead singer Chaz Bundick from the United States. As for influences, it varies from all kinds of music such as Electro, Psychedelica, Rock and “even some R&B”. All these influences create a very mellow sound, crafted by his electronic instruments.

This is what others say about the artist:
“Toro Y Moi turns the aforementioned musics upside-down with his breathtakingly innovative approach. The incendiary power of Toro Y Moi’s funky synth and guitar play, pumping digital rhythms and gorgeously bright vocal harmonies makes for a formidable combination. A soon to be masterpiece of a currently unnamed genre.”

The artist just released his first album called “Causers Of This”. Although the high use of Sidechain could be slightly over the top, the soft synths along with the mellow voices create a smooth atmosphere in which you can dream through your Sunday. The track “Causers Of This” – just like the album title goes – has a certain old school vibe in it, which you can hear especially well when you focus on the beat of the track. The track may remind you of an old American show from the 80′s or 90′s, or maybe it just reminds you of an old music clip you liked when you were young. The track, which finishes the album, is a great closer of the dreamy set.

It’s because of these feelings, reminders and experiences we recommend you checking this artist and his album out, which could even be named as “timeless”, but perhaps that’s not for us to judge.
