Toro Y Moi, otherwise known as Chaz Bundick is a 23 year old Columbia, South Carolina resident whose debut full length album CAUSERS OF THIS was released a while back. Abandoning the electronica vibe of that release, new single LEAVE EVERYWHERE, released through the Carpark label sees Bundick dipping into the more psychedelic pop realms, a trippy affair that conjures images of Animal Collective quietly jamming with sixties era Beach Boys at some sun drenched barbecue.
It's a left turn for sure, an unexpected but not entirely unwelcome change of pace for Toro Y Moi, LEAVE EVERYWHERE, the kind of gently insistent summer single that creeps innocuously beneath your skin, leaving you with a scratch you'll itch and itch but never quite be rid of. Surprisingly, both entrenched in the bombastically expansive and the quietly lo-fi, LEAVE EVERYWHERE is the kind of song designed to reveal new treats on each and every listen, a single that slowly reveals its true potential over time. Chaz Bundick crafting something here that's wonderfully beautiful and surreal.
Toro Y Moi may have made something of a left turn musically wise with LEAVE EVERYWHERE ,but its a change of pace that proves this South Carolina musician someone capable of very special things indeed and leaves you restlessly anxious to hear just what comes next.
