The last four years have seen Toro Y Moi (aka Chaz Bundick) enjoy a meteoric rise. Though still associated with the ‘chillwave’ sound he helped popularise with his 2010 debut, he’s always worked across a variety of genres; everything from laptop pop to house to indie. Freaking Out attempts to assemble those elements under one synth heavy banner — a five track EP that has him channelling Prince on the title track, referencing ’80s movie soundtracks on All Alone and dabbling with filtered club sounds. If Bundick isn’t careful, he might accidentally record a hit. By Mikolai Napieralski.
