American musician Chazwick Bradley Bundick, better known as Toro y Moi, made his debut in 2010 with the electronics . His music was then called chillwave by various journalists. Together with other producers and he made summery electronics with old-fashioned synthesizers. Their music often sounded fuzzy and sometimes a bit out of tune and rusty. Toro Y Moi then developed more and more as a singer
… / songwriter. Synthesizers and samplers played a minor role on later albums. When we release his fourth CD What For? may call it chillwave, then it is mainly a description of a feeling. A feeling separate from electronic instruments. With funky guitars and his pinching high voice, Toro Y Moi manages to evoke the same atmospheres again. It is always summer, although a shower never seems far away. A mix of happiness and homesickness. Some of the songs could be the intro music of a 1970s TV comedy. Nostalgia captured in modern pop.
