Toro Y Moi releases seventh studio album ‘MAHAL’—listen

Toro Y Moi has released his seventh studio album, MAHAL, via Dead Oceans. The artist took inspiration from psychedelic and post-rock to create the 13-track record.

MAHAL also arrives ahead of the short film GOES BY SO FAST. The project stars Toro Y Moi, otherwise known as Chaz Bear, and comedian Eric André.

The new record features artists such as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Salami Rose Joe Louis, Sofie Royer and the Mattson 2.

“I wanted to make a record that featured more musicians on it than any other record of mine,” Toro Y Moi says in a press release. “To have them live on that record feels grounded, bringing a communal perspective to the table.”

In addition, the artist is heading out on tour tonight (April 29) in Cincinnati. The run features Khruangbin, melon in and Uffie on select dates. Tickets are available here.
