This is by far my favorite cd of the year. The raw emotion blending into the music and lyrics makes this cd an experience more than just an album.

Although they sound absolutely nothing alike, I'd have to describe this as the best breakup masterpiece since Dinosaur Jr's "Where You Been". I can't stop listening to it. It's been weeks.

Good sound here. Mix something like Bel Biv Devo with sample based house music like Daft Punk a bit of easy listening and have Thomas Mars of United era Phoenix do some vocs - now you have something like Toro Y Moi's album Causers of This. It's not the most exciting record in the universe, but it's kinda nice to chill to and just have in the background during lazy sex... or something like that.

My fav song is "You Hid" I think.

Recommended for a chill session. For what it's worth, this would have been the most incredible sheit back in 1999 with all the stupid ravers. Too bad for Toro, I don't think "chillwave" is going to gain much momentum.

okay, something like that. this is my new favorite music, floaty pop music, great sound, great flow.
am tired of all the machine-like rhythms in electronic pop music...well, i love it when it's done right.
put some shoegaze 80's with madlib, a dash of flying lotus...whatever. it just works, and is worth purchasing NOW.

This CD is definitely worth buying. Every song is great. I wish the disc was a little longer (a little over 30 minutes), but I'll take quality of quantity any day. If you're a fan of shoegaze/dream-pop and sampled hip-hop you will enjoy this.

Toro y moi has gotten a good amount of buzz from music blogs, and with good reason. The kind of sound Chaz Bundick has managed to create with this album is really unique. I love the bass-filled beats in these songs, and the manipulation of samples is very psychedelic. I got into this album song by song, and I would recommend "Blessa" and "Low shoulder" as great jumping off points. However, the whole album is very cohesive, and there is some genuine, personal lyrical content here as well. Kind of a dreamy, instrumental mix of Flying Lotus and Panda Bear. This was the soundtrack to my summer.

This is one of my top new albums this year and its definitely been added to my list of all time favorite albums. It's dreamy.

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this CD. I did so based on a recommendation from XXL Magazine. Having said that, I found that I did enjoy it ... but when I wanted to "relax" and just "chill out".
