Last time we saw Chaz Bundick, aka Toro Y Moi, he was in a studio putting together a reinterpretation of Causers Of This’s “You Hid.” Well, no longer — he has it in his mind to “Leave Everywhere.” Really, that’s the sentiment here. The lilting rock ‘n’ roll-ish track, which will show up on a 7″ in July, introduces another aesthetic angle, suggesting this guy could outlive “chillwave.” (Weirdly, he sorta reminds me of Kurt Heasley here.)

Toro Y Moi – “Leave Everywhere”

The “Leave Everywhere” b/w “”First Date” single is out 7/19 in Europe and 7/20 in the U.S. via Carpark. Chaz is all gassed up and on the road:
