You know.

Toro Y Moi is one my favorite indie/electronic artists. I remember hearing "Talamak" and "Low Shoulder" a couple year ago and was blown away. With only a keyboard, mic, and guitar, Toro Y Moi stretches the uses of such basic instruments. An interesting fact about Toro Y Moi is that he has worked with such artists such OFWGKTA, and Nosaj Thing. I have to admit, it's hard to imagine Tyler and Toro hanging out.

Toro Y Moi has just released his new album, "Anything In Return" and I would say it's his best album yet. His rolling bass tones and high pitched synths are why I say this. He has done a great job taking these sounds and using the the right headphone space to give that "surround sound feel". After listening to this album, I'm convinced Toro Y Moi needs relationship therapy. Many of the lyrics on this album talk about the different emotional struggles Toro Y Moi goes through, each one a meaning of it's own. It's works well with the music but I find it quite repetitive (even over his career) after awhile.

This 19 year old, Sydney native adds to my list as one of my favorite artists. The sounds he pulls out of his many sound packs, plug-ins, hardware, etc. definitely shows in his smooth and unique music. Synth's are golden, beats are bumping and I couldn't ask for more. His music reminds me of artists such as Nosaj Thing and Toro Y Moi. Be sure to grab his "Sleepless" EP if you like what you hear.
