New Toro Y Moi - "Talamak"
As he illustrated with "Blessa," Columbia, SC Washed Out cohort Toro Y Moi, aka Chaz Bundick, has a knack for making bedroom recordings sound much bigger. Unlike some of the other recent one-man ambient technicians, Bundick folds a soulful hip-hop feel into his soundscapes: It makes sense he's decided to cover Michael Jackson's "Human Nature." He carries some of that energy through to the poppy, falsetto-lined "Talamak," a dusky, ostensible lovesick song that appears to be from one of his forthcoming Carpark full-lengths, this one tentatively titled Well Tusked.

As a reminder, the "Blessa"/"109" 7" is out 10/6 via Carpark. You can see Toro y Moi do this stuff live with Islands and Jemina Pearl.

I'm excited of the notion of Columbia's indie scene taking off.
