○○○●●WITH Causers Of This, experimental pop group Toro Y Moi have been compared to Animal Collective and their critic-slaying Merriweather Post Pavilion.
I would say that's an unfair comparison - Causers Of This is far more enjoyable a listen than what was last year's most overrated release.
The LP, the first of two this year from the Carolina-based act, is a swirling, hazy psychedelic dreamscape of cut-up snippets.
There's hints of electronica, indie, psychedelia and more here, all swirled round to create something that, although difficult to get a grasp on, is original and intriguing and no doubt a taste of many things to come in 2010.
Epic album already tipped by Boomkat records as album of the year. Great to see this on your radar! There are some great videos on youtube if you get 5 mins to check out.
