Grade: C
Chaz Bundick, South Carolinian and maestro of Toro Y Moi, does a charmingly OK job making melodies with his most recent release, “Underneath the Pine.” The sound of the album is something like Pulling Our Weight meets Ceremony — easily unknown and completely relaxing yet forgettable. Think background music to a perfectly floaty scene from an indie flick — not too intrusive, not too loud but just enticing enough to entrance the listener for a song or two without being completely dull. “Underneath the Pine” is simply all right.
