Toro Y Moi Premiere “Still Sound” Video And Extend Tour

tym

On February 22nd, Toro Y Moi will be releasing Underneath The Pine on Carpark records and you can now view the video for one of its star tracks, “Still Sound,” which just premiered on Pitchfork. Directed by Steven Daniels, the video is a cute and playful still 8 insight on frontman Chaz Bundick and bandmates goofing around, rehearsing and even dancing. The retro image grain matches the old school r’n’b funk mood of the song and at the same time maintains the hipster image associated with chillwave. You can watch the video HERE.

Toro Y Moi Peak Underneath The Pine


When South Carolina’s Chaz Bundick (aka Toro Y Moi) signed to Carpark Records in late 2009, his plan was to release two records in 2010. His electronic debut, Causers of This, hit shelves in January of last year. But, his followup was pushed. Entitled Underneath the Pine, the album is set for release on February 22, 2011.

Unlike Causers of Them, Underneath the Pine, features almost entirely live instrumentation. This creates a homespun sound, which is different for Toro Y Moi. Later this month, Toro Y Moi is headed out on tour (dates down below).
