Is Chaz Bundwick morphing the genre he helped create or simply straying from it? Perhaps he’s just leaving the bedroom. Chillwave has most appropriately been tied to small quarters throughout its short life with smooth technicians like Washed Out and, yes, Toro y Moi conducting blissful bed-rattling (and -floating, -rotating, etc.) symphonies for escapist shut-ins. With his third studio album as Toro y Moi, Bundwick cracks his studio window open a little further and lets some interesting things float in. The changes are subtle on individual terms, but they create a whole that is evocative in a fresh way – if 2011’s “Underneath the Pine” was a painting slowly changing colors before your eyes, “Anything in Return” is a panoramic view of a diverse and rotating landscape.

Opener “Harm in Change” presents an immediacy uncharacteristic of Bundwick’s typical progression. He creates layers at a faster pace, approaching the song’s frantic midsection like a kid struggling to hold a joke behind his lips. He mostly keeps things this interesting – paranoid pitter-patters and organic mood swings swell and disappear and repeat alongside R&B and psychedelic jams that falter only in a few hazy minutes and venture into electronic elevator music somewhere in the middle of the album. But whenever Bundwick’s voice comes in, he sounds as relaxed as ever. After all, he’s just making music to chill to.
