Toro Y Moi (Chaz Bundick from South Carolina) has created a fantastic niche for himself. Combining diverse genres and influences into a cohesive package may be the hot thing to do, but no one does it quite like Toro Y Mo. Be it his captivating and lush vocals or the organic way songs flourish into life it is truly a serene listening experience.
The man recently premiered “Talamak” which you can view above. It starts out glitchy and electro but soon smooths out into a funky late night jam.
