Toro Y Moi Announces New Album 'MAHAL' with Release Date, Drops 2 New Songs

by Jack Shapiro

Chaz Bear aka Toro Y Moi, the master of switching it up, is back with a brand new album cycle. The album, Mahal, is scheduled to drop on April 29th via Dead Oceans.

To hold you over though, he’s released two new songs: “Postman” and “Magazine” featuring Salami Rose Joe Louis. Both feature minimalistic dance beats. Kind of a calm within the chaos vibe from the tracks. This is the first new music from Toro since the 2019 effort Outer Peace. I enjoyed “Magazine” a bunch. Very eerie, but calming at the same time. And very minimal but catchy vocals from Toro that we see a lot.

He also recently appeared on Kenny Beats’ popular YouTube show, The Cave. The two make a beat in under 10 minutes and he freestyles over it. Check it out for yourself here.

Check out the cover, tracklist along with the music videos for the new songs below. Also cool fun fact, Toro y Moi plays a huge part in his album art. He studied graphic design major in college and designed the covers for all his albums up until at least 2017’s Boo Boo. You can watch that interview with Soulection here.
