I feel like the album in general is too on-the-nose in terms of referencing just enough of the current hot trends and influences to warrant the Best New Music rating on Pitchfork, while not really bringing anything new to the table. But I may be a cynic. Either way, I'll be listening to this song quite a bit this year. This is a nice writeup and I agree that Still Sound is the best and most interesting track on the record.

Still Sound was definitely one of my favorite Toro tracks so far. I wrote about it <a>here</a> before the rest of the album leaked. I'm thinking that maybe I've got to give it a few more listens and try to get into it the way you've described here...

Still Sound was definitely one of my favorite Toro tracks so far. I wrote about it here before the rest of the album leaked.

I’m thinking that maybe I’ve got to give it a few more listens and try to get into it the way you’ve described here…

Actually, large swaths of the album remind me of Stereolab, who I know you admire and have written about several times. That’s fair.

I feel like the album in general is too on-the-nose in terms of referencing just enough of the current hot trends and influences to warrant the Best New Music rating on Pitchfork, while not really bringing anything new to the table. But I may be a cynic. Either way, I'll be listening to this song quite a bit this year. This is a nice writeup and I agree that Still Sound is the best and most interesting track on the record.

I haven't checked out the whole album just yet. Just a couple of the tunes. It was alright what a heard but I see where you are coming from with your writeup and when I get to it I will check out the rest of the album. I agree that Still Sound is a nice tune.
