Chaz Bear, known musically as Toro y Moi, is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated eighth studio album. ‘Hole Erth’ is slated to drop on 6th September, and Bear is teasing the audience with two fresh singles.

Indie music aficionados, buckle up as Toro y Moi brings you an auditory delight with his two latest singles, ‘Hollywood’ and ‘CD-R’, from his eighth studio album titled ‘Hole Erth’. Not only do these tunes promise to enhance your playlists, but they also mark an exceptional collaboration and pay homage to the bygone era of music curation.

  • Collaboration with Benjamin Gibbard: ‘Hollywood’, an evocative track featuring none other than Death Cab for Cutie’s lead vocalist. Bear’s admiration for Gibbard’s work brings us a single threaded with themes of angst and nostalgia.

  • Homage to a Pre-Streaming Era: With ‘CD-R’, Bear reminisces the days when music choices were personal and intimate, a stark contrast to today’s algorithm-driven selections. This track is an ode to an era where mixtapes were king.

Alongside these newbies, the album will also feature tracks like ‘Tuesday’ and ‘Heaven’, the latter being a collaborative effort with Kevin Abstract and Lev, and including a sample of Broken Social Scene’s classic ‘Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl’.

Attempting to tap into an earthier and tribal aesthetic, Bear looks back to the influential Whole Earth Catalog for inspiration. The vision for ‘Hole Erth’ seems to be a blend of off-the-grid living with the interconnectedness of the internet—a duality that Bear expresses interest in exploring through music.
