So is this what the hipsters call chillwave? Or is it glo-fi? Oh, those two terms are pretty much the same thing? Anyway, for once the genre name gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect of Tory Y Moi’s debut album.
The causer of all this is actually one guy called Chaz Bundick who must like tinkering around with an arsenal of computers and old synths in his bedroom. The result is a very laid-back album with dreamy beats and Bundick’s mellow vocals that took me way the fuck back to days gone by. A couple of songs on here like “Fox Shadow” or “Lissoms” sound like he got a little too carried away with all the buttons to push and knobs to turn but overall “Causers Of This” would make a pretty fun soundtrack to a hot summer night that calls for fruity drinks with those little umbrellas in ‘em.
I could totally see these songs work in a Sofia Coppola movie. Not hip enough for you? Think of likeminded acts such as Neon Indian and Washed Up and you’ll get the gist of it.
Score: 6 out of 10
