Toro Y Moi Leave Everywhere

Toro Y Moi has released a 'new single' called Leave Everywhere With Your Bros. It seems like the cover art is supposed to represent 'departing' from somewhere, like going on a meaningful road trip to leave the 'old version of you' behind.

It seems like his new 'sound' is sorta moving past chillwave. Like he either 'wants a new challenge' (because making chillwave music is easy) or he understands that he 'must evolve' to stay relevant + commercially successful. I wonder if Toro Y Moi is 'more likely to go mainstream' if his sound changes to bliss / fuzzy buzzy format. Maybe he should 'collab' with Best Coast to make 'the best/most relevant mp3 of 2k11.'

Sorta wonder what is the future of chillwave with the 3 core chillwave artists (Washed Out, Neon Indian, TorBro). It seems like it is a 'good gimmick' for them to go towards 'new sounds' then it will help their second albums get slam dunk press when interviewers get to talk to them about 'how they've grown beyond chillwave.'

Wonder if the 'chillwave' era is over. Feel bad for new bands that are trying to 'market themselves' as chillwave.
Maybe chillwave was never a genre. Maybe it was a way of life. A way of life that may never be replicated again.

Is Toro Y Moi the most talented/lo-fi chillwaver?
Does he successfully achieve 'a new sound' or should he 'stick to the bleep bloop wave'?
What do u think of his new 'sound' / 'single'? Do u feel like he is 'evolving' or do u want MP3s that sound the same over and over again (kinda like Ratatat)?
Should the 'chillwave sound' only be pulled out once every 4 years, and for commissioned remixes?
