Overview
“You steer my life into something I can't describe,” Toro Y Moi sings on dynamite new single “So Many Details”, a burbling, sunny slice of space-age lover's rock which hints at yet another new direction for the South Carolina native. The title proves a bit of a misdirect; this is Toro Y Moi again working in impressionistic mode, favouring gauzy, dreamy mood over specifics, and ranks with past earworms like “Go With You” and “New Beat”.
Initially emerging as a key figure in chillwave's Indian summer of 2010, Toro Y Moi has since proved a harder figure to pin down, his prolific output both harking back to his early bedroom pop recordings and turning to the likes of avant-pop leviathans Animal Collective for inspiration. With some promising new songs and the irresistible new single providing a fine teaser for the release of his next record, 2013's Anything in Return, his show at The Standard looks like one not to miss.
