The WireDec 6, 2011Like every track on this EP, it's an incredibly precise and convincing reconstruction of mid-80s electro-pop that is nostalgic with out the obfuscating murk of H-Pop. [Nov 2011, p.70]
-
Under The RadarNov 9, 2011The five songs on Freaking Out don't diverge much from the mutant bubble-funk of Underneath the Pine, which, by all means, is a very good thing. [Oct. 2011, p. 111]

Oct 4, 2011With the Freaking Out EP, Bundick moves from vaguely funky 1980s-tinged makeout jams to more explicitly funky 80s-tinged dancefloor jams-- think Chromeo. The change isn't as successful as his best work, but it still makes for a plenty rewarding between-albums EP.

MagnetNov 11, 2011His songwriting keeps growing hookier and more ingratiating. [#81, p. 59]

Oct 4, 2011For all the puritanical spoilsports trying to confine Toro Y Moi to an unfortunate genre box, Freaking Out has the chops to confirm him as an interesting artist in his own right, rather than as the product of a semi-coherent micro-scene.
-
Oct 4, 2011A more or less identical tempo on all songs and very little variation in the synth timbres aid and abet the disco vibe, yet they also come off as a bit monochromatic.
