Toro Y Moi — Underneath The Pine

Underneath The Pine is an album evocative of R.Stevie Moore's homespun ruminations, David Axelrod'ssonic scope, Steve Reich-ian piano phrasing, and thepervasive funk of Toro Y Moi's first record. When Columbia, South Carolina's Chaz Bundick (aka Toro y Moi) first signed to Carpark Records, the plan was to release two records in 2010 one electronic and one with live instrumentation and although it didn't quite fit into the same calendar year as his debut, UNDERNEATH THE PINE is that latter offering. This release sees him following the same creative urges to completely different ends. UNDERNEATH THE PINE announces a new phase for an artist whose talent defies classification.
