Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Underneath the Pine' was released in early 2011, Toro y Moi, led by Chaz Bundick, had already made a name for himself with his debut album 'Causers of This' (2010). This sophomore effort marked a transition into a more polished sound while maintaining the lo-fi aesthetic that characterized his earlier work, showcasing his artistic growth and experimentation within the chillwave genre.
