“Mr. Bundick’s music sizzled in a way his peers’ generally did not, and it had an emotional presence that was signature as well.”—The New York Times
“[Chaz Bundick is] a prolific artist who never comes off like he’s in a race with his muse.”

Toro Y Moi, the electronic psych-pop act helmed by producer, singer and songwriter Chaz Bundick, is set to continue its North American tour through the fall with a slate of newly confirmed dates. Bundick is touring in support of Toro Y Moi’s third full-length release Anything in Return, out now on Carpark Records, and will be performing throughout the summer at a number of prestigious festivals and venues including the Sasquatch! Music Festival, the Pitchfork Music Festival and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Please see below for a complete list of date; tickets are on sale at http://toroymoi.com. Footage from Toro Y Moi’s recent SXSW performance at Hype Machine’s Hype Hotel can be viewed/shared at Baeble Music: http://bit.ly/15kC3cj.
Written and recorded in the wake of a cross-country move from Bundick’s longtime home in South Carolina to Berkeley, CA, Anything in Return continues to garner critical praise:
“The strong Anything in Return, Mr. Bundick’s recently released third full-length album…is by far the most muscular of his work.”—The New York Times
★★★ ½ (out of 5)—Rolling Stone
“The musically and emotionally rewarding Anything in Return evokes the feeling of being young with options and in no hurry to figure it all out.”—Pitchfork
“inventive and complex”—The Guardian
“[Anything in Return is] the very best thing Toro Y Moi has accomplished, with complex rhythms and attentive, near-perfect production.”—Filter
Having spent his formative years playing in punk rock bands and studying graphic design at the University of South Carolina, Bundick began making bedroom recordings under the name Toro Y Moi in 2001. Those early recordings made up the seeds of his critically acclaimed 2010 debut album Causers of This, which was hailed as “a bold introduction to a promising newcomer” by Filter. Bundick went on to record 2011’s highly regarded Underneath the Pine and the Freaking Out EP before making his move to California in 2012.
