Description
Toro Y Moi's Wednesday show at Goodgod has sold out! A second show has been added, Tuesday 22 February - the day his new album 'Underneath the Pine' comes out.
Toro Y Moi is 23 year old Columbia, South Carolina native Chaz Bundick. He started making music in 2001 as a bedroom project but quickly grew into the live performance realm grabbing the attention of taste makers around the world with his album 'Causers of This'. His songs are born from a plethora of different genres, from freak-folk to R&B to French House and often draw comparison to artists such as J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Animal Collective, Washed Out and Daft Punk. It also gets lumped into a genre called chillwave, Chaz explains - "I don't mind genre names. "Chillwave" is probably the last thing I would think of , but I don't mind it. I just usually tell people I like to call it pop, or experimental pop, or something." His album 'Causers of This' gathered wide critical acclaim from Pitchfork and NME to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian. The last 12 months has seen Toro touring the world and in February 2011 Australia audiences will get their first live taste of Toro Y Moi.
