CMU Approved

Approved: Toro Y Moi

By | Published on Thursday 15 October 2009

Toro Y Moi is an almost annoyingly precocious 23 year old South Carolina resident making freaky electronica with the washed out bliss of Animal Collective and the spirited beats of J Dilla. ‘Talamak’ is the siren for his collection, fuelled by a laid back roof top party vibe, like one of those faux party adverts created by alcohol brands in slo mo and, y’know, good. His vocals, meanwhile, are as hazy as the swirling, warped music, which is kept in check by a steady groove and some sparsely placed vocal samples. Current single ‘Blessa’ is up for pre-order via Carpark Records now, with a full album expected next year.
