Toro Y Moi has featured on pretty much every 'Who's gonna be big in 2010?' list you can think of, from NME to The Guardian, Pitchfork and Time Out. Toro Y Moi (aka Columbia, South Carolina's Chaz Bundick, who's half-Filipino) is the sound the world has been waiting for. This multi-cultural juggernaut gathers up the best musical elements from around the globe - r&b, indie rock, electronic dance and psychedelica and creates something amazing. It's perfect post-club music, blissed out slow-burning landscapes, subtle rolling beats, layers of leftfield soothing synths and wobbly, soulful vocals. the album references everyone from Eno to the Beach Boys, Prince to J Dilla and Talking Heads or as one journalist put it - "it's kind of how Animal Collective would sound if they spent a year listening to old soul and Motown records before laying down their new LP". Recommended if you like Daft Punk, Animal Collective, My Bloody Valentine, Janet Jackson. Includes "Blessa", "Talamak" and more.
