Looking for something to post for today. I haven't found much in last week's new releases. Gave Toro Y Moi's Sandhills a listen. He's been around for a while. Toro Y Moi is a stage name. He's actually named Chaz Bundick. I don't blame him for making the change.
He's from Columbia, South Carolina. His songs are Folk / Indie things built around acoustic and electric guitars that slide and emote. His singing voice is not particularly distinctive but the songs stand up. I'd place him between Elliott, Sufjan and James Mercer though sometimes he stretches back further to Dylan and those people.
Sandhills is only an EP and at thirteen minutes stopped just as I was getting interested. I'll check him out when he gets round to making an album. In the meantime, this is worth a listen and I'm now making my way through it for a second time and it sounds better than it did the first. A good sign.
