Toro Y Moi
Underneath the Pine
(Car Park Records) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Chazwick Bundick’s second album, “Underneath the Pine,” is more mature, with more vocals and live instruments, as compared to his debut album.

The songs are electric and funky. They are disco with a heavy funk overtone.

The first single, “Still Sound,” is the perfect example of how the music on this album differs from his first: more singing and a direct sound-theme throughout.

Either way, Bundick’s new focus is quite enjoyable and has more mass appeal than his previous work.

“Underneath the Pine” is a new venture for him and his music and his ability shines through.

Unlike some artists who become stagnant in their music and genre, Toro Y Moi changes it up to keeps things interesting and the fans will appreciate this.
