South Carolina’s “Toro Y Moi” (a.k.a Chaz Bundick) is nominally one of the main purveyors of what is worryingly known as Chillwave but this new single places the lineage to a more early rock ‘n’ roll, soul sound, with astounding results. “Leave Everywhere” saunters along pleasingly on Spector-esque drums and a maddeningly catchy surf guitar line. It does peter out by the end, as if Bundick ran out of ideas and let the song just stop, but it doesn’t stop it from being an excellent summer single. It will surely be someone soundtrack to days that never end, and there is really no higher compliment you can pay a song!
