(October 15, 2024) - Toro y Moi announces a 2025 headline tour of North America with special guest Panda Bear. The tour will find Toro y Moi bringing the world of Hole Erth across the continent after recently playing marquis shows at Los Angeles' Hollywood Forever Cemetery, New York's Knockdown Center and next week's show at The Greek in Berkeley, CA -- Toro y Moi's biggest hometown headline show to date. Across the tour, Toro y Moi and Panda Bear will be joined by Nourished By Time and Kassie Krut as support. Today's tour announcement coincides with the news that Panda Bear will release his new album Sinister Grift around the launch of the forthcoming tour with Toro y Moi. Tickets for his upcoming tour will be on sale here starting October 18th at 10AM local time, with pre-sale starting tomorrow, October 16th at 10AM local time.
Hole Erth, Chaz Bear’s eighth full-length studio record as Toro y Moi, is the genre shapeshifter’s most unexpected and bold move to date, with Bear diving headlong into rap-rock, Soundcloud rap and Y2K emo. The album blitzes anthemic pop-punk next to autotuned, melancholic rap – two genres that inform one another now more than ever before — and packs in the most features ever on a Toro y Moi album with contributions from Kevin Abstract, Benjamin Gibbard, Don Toliver, Porches, Kenny Mason and more.
Recorded in the span of a few months across late 2023 and early 2024, Hole Erth’s features built naturally over that short span, with Bear simply reaching out to long-time friends. The sum of Hole Erth’s parts is massive, and demonstrates Bear’s deft abilities as a producer, especially in hip-hop; his role in the culture has long been solidified from previous collaborations with some of rap's biggest trailblazers. It’s a daring left turn for Bear, but the feel is effortless, the make-it-look-easy of a master at work. All told, Bear pushes himself into new sonic ground for the TyM oeuvre while embracing the project’s celebrated, well-known electronic beginnings. Hole Erth is brand new, but somehow perfectly at home.
