Toro Y Moi, the one man show of 23 year old Chaz Budnick, is but the latest artist to be flung into the journalist-created genre of "chillwave."  Releasing singles in a pre-Neon Indian world (yes, we went there), Toro Y Moi was amongst the first in '09 to introduce us to that dreamy, sunkissed sound of melted R&B cassettes.  Well, now it's the tail-end of Winter in a brand new year and that vibe is all the more welcome.  Not only was full-length dreamsicle Causers Of This finally released in February, the greater 50 will be officially chillwaved (gahhh, somebody come up with something else fast) when Toro Y Moi hits the road this week in support of it.

Joining Mr. Moi out there for just about the whole wavechilled thing will be the oh-so-awesome, Cumbia-tapped popsters Ruby Suns, who just released their own little gem of a record Fight Softly on Sub Pop.  We hear they'll take a break from eachother during next week's impending indie maelstrom of SXSW, where Toro Y Moi will play no less than 640 shows.

Finally, in T & M news, a brand spankin' new site named "Pitchfork" (is that right?) just posted the official video for the latest single "Talamak" -- but you can check it here:
