Michael is the debut full-length from Les Sins, the dance project of Toro y Moi's Chaz Bundick. Inspired by cartoon and movie soundtracks, the largely instrumental album explores c lassic dance and pop music traditions. Catchy, repetitive vocal hooks gel with beats and synth work influenced by house, techno, French electronic, and '90s hip-hop production. Bundick made the album over two years and recorded everything in his home studio. Touchstones like Timbaland, Mr. Oizo, and Daft Punk, and contemporaries such as Motor City Drum Ensemble offered inspiration, but most influential on the making of the album was the sage advice of a design icon. "My favorite graphic designer, P. Rand always said, 'Don't try to be original, just try to be good,'" Bundick says. "When making this record that was/is my mantra--it was just constantly looping in my mind. I believe 'good' is timeless and once you can recognize that you'll see the world in its fullest."
