Toro Y Moi - Anything In Return

Anything in Return shows a pervasive sense of peace with Bundick's tendency to dabble in both the producer and songwriter sides of the modern music-making spectrum, and he sounds comfortable engaging in intuitive pop production. The producer's hand is prominent?not least in the sampled "yeah"s and "uh"s that give the album a hip-hop-indebted confidence? and many of the songs feature the 4/4 beats and deftly employed effects usually associated with house music. Sounding quite assured in what some may call this songwriter's return to producer-hood, AIR is Bundick uninhibited by issues of genre.
