Great Album
Toro y Moi, Anything in Return
Destined to be the year’s most underrated album. Critics seem surprisingly unimpressed, but this set is jam packed with passionate lyrics over sensuous beats. It’s his best yet, with not a single weak track. Check out: “Say That,” “Harm in Change,” Grown Up Calls.”
