Grind – Les Sins
Chaz Bundick, better known as the front man of Toro Y Moi has taken the indie scene by storm already this year with his album Anything in Return. Receiving constant praise by Tyler, The Creator via twitter, Toro Y Moi encompasses Bundick’s vocals alongside a psychedelic, funky, chill beat that I find hard to not dance to. Although his music has a...
Put A Light On – Generationals
The Generationals have released a track off of their upcoming album Heza, which will be available April 2. “Put A Light On” integrates a wide-range of instrumentals that compliments the vocals perfectly.

But when you dove deeper into the album, it became incredibly personal and relatable to each person...
