Chaz Bundick (aka Toro Y Moi) limbers up for the dancefloor with two heavily treated disco diamonds as Les Sin, recorded in 2009 at his home studio in Columbia, South Carolina. No doubt, his celebrated 'Causers Of This' album was a happily danceable effort, but these two tracks have a more clearly defined purpose, and they fulfill it in style. The instantly infectious 'Lina' cuts straight to the chase with ebullient strings, filtered guitar licks and irresistible uptempo groove laying the way for an anonymous female vocal (perhaps from Lina?). 'Youth Gone' goes even harder on the filters and the edits, slicing through classic sounding samples like some lo-fi Soundstream live session, and every bit as infectious as that implies.
