Realize that friendship begins with a handshake, love starts with the eyeballs upon traversing through Israeli trio Buttering Trio's debut studio record. Over the course of Toast, these three kind souls string together stylistic traces of soul, funk, and even a pinch of jazz; all while spreading peace via sharp bass lines as well as beats that are huge without sounding too blatant. Very rarely does this album lose steam during its 36-minute duration, providing a truckload of lasting power that probably couldn't have been achieved without hope on the project's side. It sounds sublime from a production perspective, the tracklist structuring feels just right, and multi-instrumentalist KerenDun's warm vocal delivery fits the grounded assortment of vibes that the other contributors showcase. Seriously Toast is a nice fortress of a full-length, snagging far more hits than legit misses (if any regarding the latter).
