    Incredible production, a meld of the future and past sounds for Toro Y Moi.

Track 8, "Who am I" takes me back to the days of rollerblading in a rink yet emotionally leaves traces of daft punk melodies in my mind. it is sad to say this album came out 18 days late. Maybe Toro's New years resolution will be to drop something as satisfying as this next NYE.… Expand

    The songs here are largely fun and accessible, but contain hidden depths that encourage repeated listens; and that in itself is a testament to Toro Y Moi’s staying power and ability to find new ways of expressing himself.

    A deep, abiding melancholy runs beneath the record’s house-party vibe. Bear’s cool sigh frequently sounds like the aural approximation of bedhead, his vowels tousled, his consonants shying away from the light.
