Yours Truly: Toro Y Moi - You Hid

great to see, really chilled out rendition. i’ve listened to it a few times today and gone back to check out causers of this for the first time in a little while. i still remember the first night i heard chaz’s music. chaz is such a ridiculous name by the way…not sure if you guys knew that. also, check out his watch when he’s filmed playing the piano, it’s fucking perfect for his music/genre. toro y moi has gotten a good amount of attention over the last year or two, but i sort of view him as an underrated talent, based on all the live videos i’ve seen at this point. people appreciate the aesthetics of his music for sure, and his songwriting to a lesser extent, but his musicianship and versatility doesn’t get recognized quite as much. i mean, i don’t quite see him on the level of andrew bird or sufjan or anything, but he’s also definitely not just a new-hype-of-the-month guy whose studio effects are entirely responsible for his success. this video displays his full involvement in his music, even ranging over to the drum kit, and i think that’s some insight worth sharing.
