Toro y MoisSandhillsis both a tender love letter to Chaz Bears hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, and a poignant, bittersweet acceptance that one can never really go back home. Recalling SufjansSeven Swansor Karen Os soundtrack work forWhere The Wild Things Are, these loping folk-pop songs are themselves a sort of Saturn return, reminiscent of Bears first handmade CD-Rs as Toro y Moi.

Chaz Bear, Toro y Moi, is now a globally beloved indie pop icon. ButSandhills, with its banjo and lap steel flourishes and its wide-eyes wonder, concedes that you never quite totally rid yourself of those adolescent blues.
