Toro Y Moi isn’t just a one horse pony having created an entire album of original work under his clubbier Les Sins alias that’s now streaming online in full.
The eleven-tracker dubbed ‘Michael’ draws on Bundicks (lel) influences from Timbaland, Mr. Oizo and Motor City Drum Ensemble with it actually inspired by movie and cartoon soundtracks.
We checked out the first single “Bother” back in August in which we summed up as “catchy vocals lining up swimmingly alongside the background party sample and profound bassline” – word!
The rest of the release leans on funky samples, footwork-esque patterns and acid-lines in what is a peculiar but easy, upbeat listen. ‘Michael’ is out now on Company Records.
