Causers Of This

With his 2010 debut Causers of This, South Carolina artist Chaz Bear introduced the world to the hazy, sun-soaked sound of Toro y Moi. Released through Carpark Records on January 4, the album brings together lo-fi tape hiss, breezy melodies, and an adventurous mix of electronic influences. Its dreamy textures and infectious pop sensibilities helped shape the chillwave movement of the early 2010s.

Moving between hazy ambient textures and bursts of exuberant pop, Causers of This captures an early stage in Toro y Moi's evolution. More than a decade later, its dreamy production and experimental approach remain a defining example of the genre, offering a glimpse of the artist's journey from lo-fi beginnings to his more polished later work.

Precision Record Pressing produced the album on classic Black (BK) vinyl, housed in a standard single pocket jacket with a printed insert.
