Toro y Moi announces new album Hole Erth, which is set for release on September 6th. Out today is the new single “Tuesday ” alongside an India Sleem-directed music video shot across Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco, California.
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. The album 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 Toro y Moi mastermind Chaz Bundick’s musical history — from his childhood immersion gowing up in Northeast Columbia with punk and emo to his past production work for some of the biggest names in modern rap.
Chaz states about “Tuesday:” “I hope you enjoy this suburban anthem, growing up, the often-controversial-line between mainstream and underground artists was so defined but now that line has become so blurred I can’t even tell what I like anymore…sometimes.”
