toro-room-for-1zone

Anyone familiar with the music of Chaz Bundick (Toro y Moi) is also familiar with his eclectic range and genre traversing. 2013’s Anything In Return demonstrated a departure from previous Toro material, ushering in an electronic, pop-centric palette. Last years’ Les Sins Michael LP stretched those sounds even further, charting into house territory. This year’s What For? largely traded in those synths for guitar, in a 70’s era, guitar-focused effort.

If that wasn’t enough for you, Chaz shared new single “room for 1zone” couldn’t be much different than the recent What For?. Toro y Moi “room for 1zone” ventures back into beat-based electronic, leaning more towards the Michael material and what you might hear during his DJ sets. Kudos to Chaz for mixing it up yet again. Toro y Moi will be at Osheaga, Lollapalooza and Outside Lands as well as touring this fall (dates below). While you’re at it, check out the new single from Toro keys player Anthony Ferraro.
