NEW EP MARKS FIRST FORAY INTO
PURE DANCE FLOOR HEDONISM
Toro Y Moi's Chaz Bundick has announced a September 13 release date for his new Freaking Out EP. The release finds Bundick reveling in twenty minutes of boogie, roping in the heavy sounds of groups like The Gap Band and Mtume. While the first two tracks are modern takes on the 80s post-disco vibe, "Sweet" sounds like the product of a Todd Edwards and Teddy Riley collaboration, with smooth synths weaving in and out of meticulously chopped and arranged vocal samples. The New Jack influence spills over into the cover of Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal's "Saturday Love," in which a swing beat carries along fluttering piano lines steeped in delay.
Check out the tracklist below, along with Toro Y Moi tour dates. Click below to download "Saturday Love".
