Toro Y Moi, also known as Chaz Blundick, seem to make a lot of sense to a lot of people right now. I’m trying my darndest to figure out why, I really am.
Aside from a few Excepter-ish moments on “Lissoms” that curl the cortex a little, and a few instances where the cute-cuddly playfulness gets pushed aside, Causers of This is a remarkably flat shot of World-pop.
Channeling Gary Wilson, Har Mar Superstar, Emperor X, Ariel Pink and Dosh while incorporating Latin/World, dub and hip-hop influences is a good idea on paper, but it never really translates.
The only thing worse than dance-rock is shit like this; dance-slop that has no purpose whatsoever, save to be the object of abject adoration based on label affiliation (Carpark is run by Animal Collective, sort of) and a toilin’-ass tourin’ schedule.
Wish I could help ya’ here; I never thought I’d wish for Nite Jewel, but …
And my time is up!
