Toro y Moi straddles multiple genres on 'What For?'
By Sedef Seker | April 5As a lover of different styles of music, Chaz Bundick experiments with countless genres and creates records that are collective. As he has expressed in many interviews, Bundick likes to practice music as a “hobby,” which leads him to produce different styles of albums under different names. Clearly, Bundick has a lot on his plate with his versatile career as a composer, producer and recording artist. However, his upcoming release, "What For?" (April 7), his fourth album under the name Toro y Moi, comes right after the release of his dance record as Les Sins, showing just how productive and prolific he is. As a professional producer, Bundick does not follow the trend of collaborating with all his friends on the records he makes. Instead, he prefers to stay in his studio and create unique records by experimenting with different sounds. Though he includes traces of chillwave on his new album, Bundick doesn’t cease to experiment with different styles -- on "What For?" he chooses to explore indie pop sounds. With each subsequent album, Toro y Moi develops his sound and adds onto what he has already produced. Just as expected, “What For?” builds onto Chaz Bundick’s previous records and presents a unique collection of different genres.
