The eccentric and eclectic Toro y Moi is back with his seventh album, MAHAL.

This project of frontman Chaz Bear has always felt like a loose, psychedelic free-form vibe. And on MAHAL, there’s a raw, glammy joy that pulls things together more cohesively than on previous records.

Whether he’s discussing therapy, social media, or snail mail, there’s a curiosity and self-effacing humor in Bear’s lyrics and delivery that will leave you with a smile.
