TO KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR
I BRING YOU
CHILLWAVE
To bring you something new and amazing to listen to, is sooooooooo why I'm blogging. This post is dedicated to an artist who I have been supporting since his first album Causers Of This... I give you the lo-fi wunderkid Chaz Bundick better known as Toro Y Moi. The 24 year old vocalist and multi instrumentalist, made his niche as one of the forerunners of the newest genre of music known as Chillwave( formally coined 2007).
His sound is reminiscent of dance floor anthems of a Daft Punk style, with honest lyricsm, and whimsical crooning in the style of Michael Jackson 'Human Nature' coupled with the crisp brilliance of a Pharrell Williams falsetto. His music of course is self produced, synth based, and some contain glitchy filters and effects; all of which are signature effects for Chillwave music. This electronic, lo-fi, pop is to create a calming vibe for listeners to enjoy. Chaz, brings in more boogie with his funk style guitar and percussion...
But enough words YOU CAME HERE TO LISTEN NOT READ... so I will leave you with a few of my fave records from him and you can see for yourselves...
From his last offering Causers of This, which dropped last year today...
