Yalls by Yalls Oakland-based producer-singer Yalls makes quirky synth pop music that sounds close to what Baths would be if he spent more time listening to old funk records.

Toro Y Moi’s latest LP is a noticeable improvement compared to the sketchbook of ideas that made up his last album, Causers of this. Underneath the Pine is loaded with light, pretty arrangements and dancey disco beats. The songwriting and vocals aren’t always standout, though. While the whole
