It’s like a chillwave wet dream come true, the lo-fi shoegaze equivalent of an Air / Daft Punk double headline. What makes both Toro Y Moi and Washed Out so exciting is their music’s overall vibe is mellow enough to passively relax to, but listen in to either’s sonic stew, and underneath the placid exterior the songs are innovative and complex, with layers of stuttering weirdness, decaying pop hooks, and dreamy longing. Toro’s new album went more space disco whereas Washed Out got more blissed-out. With Guerre and Future Classic DJs opening this is a perfectly paired meal, entree, main, wine and dessert.
