Talking to Toro Y Moi

An interview with chillwave pioneer Chaz Bear, a.k.a. Toro y Moi.

===================================

Follow your melon:

[EHelm]

Chaz has one of the best discographies of this past decade.

[lofiiowa]

Melon has such a furious serious resting face when he's listening god damn

[kidfazer]

been listening to Toro y Moi since Kanye posted Talamak and Blessa on his blog in 2009. Glad he’s still out here kickin ass

[uncvic]

I've only happened across Toro y Moi, a year ago. Love how each project takes on a different genre.

[JPTQJR]

Loved the new record. Glad that Chaz is representing 🇵🇭 through his music.

[isaacmontoyalopez]

My man speaks like he's giving people geniuine hugs.

[s.z.x.]

Just such a humble and down to earth guy, love this dude

[samnovak]

Mahal flowed so well. His best since anything in return

[SweetAntiquity]

My cousin is a part of the touring band of TYM. He's the "Anthony" that Chaz mentions. Back in December of 2019, I got to record a 3 track mini ep in that warehouse studio he's talking about with my old band for 3 days! Of course I got to see Chaz a little bit and chat with him. I've been able to meet him 4 times before and he's so sweet and cool :)

[andrewneighbor]

Loved what he had to say about representing his southern heritage without being cringey or whatever. Dude is looking to the future while referencing the past.

[Xbman]

Still Sound blew me away when I first heard it. This is one of the few artists where i can leave their discography on all day and enjoy every era.

[torridweiss]

incoming "i see toro but where is moi" comments... just listen to his album it's great !!!

[crumbtember]

Y'all mahal is lit. I came across it accidentally and am not familiar with his other stuff, but I'm always like "I need new music" and so finally have an artist who is new to me I can dive into :)

[ruolov]

I have been a supporter of Toro Y Moi since the early SXSW days. On top of that, he is also partial Filipino so I know he comes from a humble background. I remember meeting him on SXSW a couple of times and I believed in his music so much. Very chill and good, laid back Chaz. Knew I predicted he would tour a lot. I'm just really impressed by his creativity and his connection with his audience. Go Toro!!! Thanks for making a new record

[elypelowski]

This record is PHENO"MAHAL" ... as a musician myself I am seriously hooked on this album.

[CarlosRobles-krzx]

30:46 it’s funny how toro y moi now has a county album out 😂

[padilla]

Saw him at second sky in Oakland last year. Dude was straight 🔥

[Quantumwashere]

I’m a simple man, I see Melon & Chaz and I click. TYM did not disappoint with this one, Mahal is definitely in my top picks for AOTY.

[ebin]

One of my favorite artists of all time, good to see an interview

[abimon]

he seems so down to earth and genuine :) loved watching this
