Released:  January 22, 2013
Rating:  ééé1/2
Genre:  Chill & B

This album does not come easy.  It takes repeated listens to get into the layers that make it so darned interesting, and ultimately enjoyable.  There's R&B, funk and electronica here, and they all come together for something that is really terrific when you need a distraction (in the office between tasks) or when you have time to really listen (like during the commute or a drive to Monterey.)  I don't know Exactly what to compare it to that would be better known.  Maybe Stereolab, or Girls.  Spotify relates them to Phantogram, which I guess I can hear.

Chaz Bundick, the 26 year old from South Carolina (now residing in Berkeley CA), is Toro y Moi, This is his third album (my second) since 2010, though he's been performing since 2001. It's darker than 2011's Underneath The Pine, but I also think it's a better collection.

My favorite song on the album is   High Living.  I can also strongly Cola and Studies.
