Bay area based musician Toro y Moi announces his seventh studio album, MAHAL, out April 29 via Dead Oceans. Previewing his 13-track LP, Toro has dropped two new singles, “Postman” and “Magazine,” two sides of a playful, whimsical EP. The first single, ”Postman” is a funky, fresh, off-beat rambling about getting mail. The visual that accompanies ”Postman” […]

Toro y Moi opened for Chromeo Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl. It was the first night of KCRW’s 2019 World Festival. At its core, Toro y Moi is Chaz Bear (born as Chazwick Bradley Bundick), but he was joined on stage by a live band that included a bassisst, keys, percussion, and a conga […]

Last night at the Teragram Ballroom in downtown Los Angeles, Red Bull Sound Select kicked off their 9th installment of their #30DaysinLA series with none other than the master of chill-wave-pop, Toro y Moi (aka Chazwick Bundick). Supporting Toro y Moi were Young Magic and  DJ Roger Sellers. Roger Sellers got things started for early arrivals […]

Last year, Red Bull Sound Select did the unfathomable and put together a completely-booked November featuring big-name and rising artists playing in mostly small or peculiar venues, as well as some special events mixed in. What it meant was there was something awesome to do every day of the month, from seeing Run the Jewels […]

Truth be told, I was a bit worried going into Thursday night’s Toro Y Moi show at The Fonda. Based off of some negative reviews of their Coachella performance last weekend, I was anticipating a slightly boring and uninspired show. Thank Baby Jesus, Chaz and crew did not disappoint! Alternating between keys and guitar, Chaz led […]

It’s now time to roll out our Coachella 2015 photos from day 2 of the annual music festival. Saturdays are always the busiest and craziest days at Coachella.

After creating “chillwave” albums with an R&B influence, Toro y Moi is back with a new album that really doesn’t stick too much to his usual sound theme. Taking inspiration from iconic bands like Big Star, Talking Heads and Todd Rundgren, Toro y Moi’s new album, What For? seems to revive the smooth rock sounds of […]

Update: Previously we mistakenly reported that KCRW would broadcast the live session on Friday, March 27th. The broadcast of this show will be on Friday, April 3rd. I felt terribly underdressed at KCRW’s private Toro y Moi show. It was the mini flatbread crackers that did it. There were elegant trays of them, three different […]

Toro Y Moi was created by Chazwick Bundick (sounds like a stage name but it’s the real deal), an Americano lad from the Carolinas. Toro Y Moi has served up this collective of interesting real and live instrumentations and productions seem to be put together by unnatural forces with bad quantization but with a nice […]

Chaz Bundick is still getting used to the whole success thing under his Toro Y Moi moniker. The Columbia, South Carolina native released his first LP, Causers of This, a year ago and has already followed up with his sophomore effort Underneath the Pine. Already receiving amazing reviews, the 24-year-old singer/songwriter wasn’t trying to gain […]

A friend introduced me to the very talented Toro Y Moi when he suggested I check out “Still Sound,” Underneath The Pine’s first single. After the first five seconds I was immediately hooked and wanted more of the soulful funk sounds. Ever since that day, that track has been my go-to iPod jam for hectic […]
