Toro Y Moi - Empty Nesters

‘Empty Nesters’ is an infectiously refreshing anthem that practically radiates with the summer heat and youthful energy.

Chaz Bundick is never one to take a break. He spent most of last year writing and performing under the alias Les Sins, and now he’s leaving electronic beats behind to make his return as Toro Y Moi. With new album ‘What For?’ set for release on 6th April, its lead track has had more than a few heads turning.

‘Empty Nesters’ is a first taste of a new direction (which seems to accompany every Chaz Bundick record), and it’s positively radiant. The track marries elements of garage and rock together with sun-drenched refrains and sailing synths, whilst a funk-driven breakdown soars faultlessly in the midst. The result is much more than “another hit for the teens.” Demonstrating guitar pop at its very best, ‘Empty Nesters’ is an infectiously refreshing anthem that practically radiates with the summer heat and youthful energy.

It’s a broad spectrum of sounds that Chaz Bundick has mastered, and with this release he’s showing no signs of slowing down. ‘Empty Nesters’ might not be what’s expected, but it’s definitely what fans have been craving.
