Song of the Week: Toro Y Moi’s lo-fi funk thriller


It wouldn’t do much good to declare Toro Y Moi my Next Big Thing again, but with each leaked track, I feel the need to do so. And another song, this time the lo-fi funk thriller “Talamak” (which may be on an upcoming album entitled Well Tusked, according to Stereogum), has got me ready to start the Toro Y Moi fan club. If I was 18, that is, which I’m not. So, a Song of the Week, and more warning that the South Carolinian behind these songs, Chaz Bundick, is one worth watching. Or at least bookmarking his MySpace page.

Really glad he released this track. His hype has been steadily increasing for a while now, and deservedly so. I can't get enough. Here is a solid write up I found that includes a few tracks:
