Toro Y Moi - Causers Of This [2010]

Artist: Toro Y Moi
Album: Causers Of This
Genre: Glitch pop/Chillwave/Indie

Another album from the future here, this time both in release date and actual sound. I've been listening to this for the past few days now and the richness of the electronics and production have been blowing me away. No matter that I can pick out maybe a dozen words from the whole album, the music is gorgeous and scattershot, relaxed yet ready-made for a party. Layers of voices and hollowed out pads pulse throughout the whole album without stretching too thin. The chops and cuts made to the beat and instruments feel natural and serve to define the music through their own tasteful restrictiveness instead of by creating chaos. Depth of songwriting shows through the ambiance (not ambience) wells on tracks like Minors and Thanks Vision, the latter of which is an absolutely stunning drive of chilled beauty. Causers Of This is immaculately put together and an early favorite for the coming decade.



Well let's test it out!
