Toro y Moi Announces New Album Hole Erth Feat. Ben Gibbard, Porches, Kevin Abstract, & More

It is once again Toro y Moi time. Chaz Bear will return with new album Hole Erth. It’s got an impressive guest list — including Ben Gibbard, Porches, Kevin Abstract, Glaive, Kenny Mason, Don Toliver, Duckwrth, Elijah Kessler, and Lev. Lead single “Tuesday” finds Bear leaning into a modern (or extremely late-’90s) form of grungy, post-SoundCloud rap pop-rock. He nods to that shift in this artist’s statement:

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.

Below, watch the “Tuesday” video on a Wednesday.
