The first time I saw Chaz Bundicks Toro Y Moi live was the first time Id heard of himit was May of 2010, he was opening for Caribou at Neumos, and although hed released his woozy debut, Causers of This, just five months earlier, he was already showing signs of shifting over to the new material that would become his second album, Underneath the Pine. Underneath the Pine is now used as the standard proof that todays glut of chillwave artists can move beyond into broader and more exciting territoriesthe albums most memorable and innovative tracks are its singles, the groove-laden New Beat and the bass-bumping Still Sound, songs that create an enchanting good-time atmosphere that Bundick and his backing band beatifically recreate at their live shows. With Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bass Drum of Death. ERIN K. THOMPSON
