Toro Y Moi Releases New Album ‘Hole Erth’
Toro Y Moi releases his new album Hole Erth. In conjunction with the album’s release, he’s sharing two new, narratively connected Kristie Muller-directed music videos for album tracks “Madonna” and “Babydaddy” — he moves from the lovestruck admission shot of “Madonna” with a night vision camera to “Babydaddy”’s retelling of his favorite exotic dancer’s club routine. The two songs (the former of which features Don Toliver) illustrate how Hole Erth is the first Toro y Moi album to showcase Chaz Bear’s influence on the modern rap landscape.
Across the album’s 13 tracks, Toro y Moi synthesizes anthemic pop-punk and autotuned, melancholic rap into a body of work that is both very much of the now, but also a reflection of long-running threads in Chaz Bear’s musical history; from his childhood immersion in punk and emo to his past production work for some of the biggest names in rap. While Toro y Moi has long built a reputation for reinventing himself from one body of work to the next, Hole Erth might represent his boldest musical pivot to date. Expanding on the album’s significance he shares: ALBUM #8 aka HOLE ERTH is now out. Thanks to everyone who’s been with Toro through all the many stages and eras. I hope this chapter ignites a fire within, something true and unique to you. See you soon, <3 Chaz
On the heels of the album’s release, Toro y Moi will embark on a series of North American tour dates, with upcoming shows in Los Angeles, New York City, Las Vegas, Miami, and his biggest headlining show to date in his hometown market when he plays The Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA on October 25th.
