Give ’Em What For
On What For?, the new record from Toro y Moi, front man and songwriter Chaz Bundick affectionately summons ghosts of rock and roll past. He evokes classic Weezer, cautioning, “There is no one to destroy your sweater.” And he nods to Big Star with the line “rock and roll is here to stay.” TYM’s latest is both an homage and a bold step forward, cutting winsome nostalgia with heavy doses of fearsome guitar riffage and hazy psychedelia. Catch Toro y Moi at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington on Wednesday, September 30, with Astronauts, etc.
