Tocaio Emits Ambient Brilliance on Yesca Ep
Ambient waves of electronic bliss gently wash up on the soft sands of Tocaio’s music. Formed in the Winter of 2015, Tocaio is the solo project of Carlos Ramirez who creates electronic instrumentals that tap into vivid tapestries of nostalgia in the listener’s mind. Ethereal progressions and airy grooves hint at Nujabes or Books as influences, but Tocaio does well in finding it’s own unique vibe and sound. The 6-track Yesca EP includes four originals and two remixes which can both lull you into a dreamlike trance as well as scintillate your senses.Yesca sets the stage for Tocaio’s debut album, Pointillism, which is expected to be released early next year.
