To think more people were worried about Y2K than Vladimir Putin on 31 December 1999. Hindsight is a cruel and wonderful thing, eh? Rather than travel back in time to prevent Putin's rise to power, chillwave doyen Toro y Moi treats hospital patients to a rendition of Millennium. Toro (aka Chaz Bear) sports alien eyes and a silver puffer suit, though a pair of nuns threaten to steal the show with their roguish antics. The same applies to twins who replace Bear's drummer and bass guitarist. Tune into its strange, lo-fi frequency and there is much to enjoy here, aided by the track's nu-disco vibe and escapist lyrics ("Silver lining makes the perfect souvenir/With champagne dripping down from every chandelier"). Fans also have the ideal costume for Halloween now.
