On Flying Lotus's 6th album, his sweeping jazz-funk feels limitless. It sounds more like a sketchbook, each minute crafted with great care and technical dexterity. He spent the past 5 years working on the album; 10 tracks swelled to more than 2 dozen.
The 2nd album, a combination of soft rock, pop, and in some cases, bits of soul and disco, which creates an alluringly hazy backdrop for Bundick's emotive, mellow vocals.
Z’ is an album of rebirth infused with the hope that things might turn alright; it’s about mourning the loss of partners and lovers, but also celebrating the emergence of new friends and the potential inherent in each day.
Reviving the Chet Faker persona he'd abandoned back in 2016, Nick Murphy finds salvation in the hypnotic grooves and dark electronic soul of Hotel Surrender.
The first collection to be released after his death in 1992. While not a comprehensive comp by any means it's a coherent review of his pop music made between 1982 and 1990.
FREAKING OUT finds Columbia, South Carolina's Chaz Bundick reveling in twenty minutes of boogie, roping in the heavy sounds of groups like the Gap Band and Mtume.
Anything in Return serves as a tidy synopsis of everywhere Bundick has taken Toro Y Moi to date. So there's silky R&B, roller-rink pop, bubblegum funk, tasteful chillout music, all unified by a voice that's grown more confident with time. -Pitchfork
