Album Review: Toro Y Moi - Boo Boo

After a fairly conventional outing in previous album What For? Chaz "Toro Y Moi" Bundick returns to his retro-futuristic '80s roots on the electronics heavy Boo Boo.

Without wishing to spoil Bundick's reputation as the chilled, lackadaisical Californian at the party, it's surprisingly bleak at times, not least on the quietly despairing Don't Try and Girl Like You, which bleeds blue with loneliness. But there are many moments of genuine beauty amid the sadness, as well as Bundick's patented hazy west coast vibes, which makes for possibly his strongest record to date.
