Toro Y Moi - Hole Erth '2024

Tracks list

Hole Erth, Chaz Bear's eighth full-length studio record as Toro yMoi, is the
genre shapeshifter's most unexpected and boldmove to date, with Bear diving
headlong into rap-rock,Soundcloud rap and Y2K emo. The album blitzes
anthemicpop-punk next to autotuned, melancholic rap - two genres thatinform one
another now more than ever before - and packs inthe most features ever on a Toro
y Moi album.A sense of nostalgia sneaks it's way into almost every Toro y
Moirelease, but angst is an emotion that Bear has neverintentionally explored
the way he does here. Tracks like"Tuesday' channel a specific, yet
forever-relatable sense ofadolescent unease. A distorted guitar riff leads into
a repeatingchorus that conjures misunderstood teenagers singing aloud,maybe too
loud, while riding bikes through American suburbs.This foreboding can also be
heard on "HOV," though not withoutpoking some fun with lines like "Romance is so
cold / Myadvice? To bring a coat."Bear has the energy, but is acutely aware that
his energy isn'tforever. At a time when the internet is blending multiple
genresinto one at an increasingly rapid pace, Bear accomplishes therare feat of
keeping up with the contemporary alternativelistener. Constantly changing,
evolving and experimenting is theheart of Toro y Moi, and on Hole Erth Bear
challenges but alsoreclaims himself, embracing the myriad sounds and eras
thatformed him, while crashing new worlds together.
