TORO Y MOI PARTNERS WITH SALEHE BEMBURY AND CROCS FOR NEW "WALKING IN THE RAIN" MUSIC VIDEO TOUR WITH PANDA BEAR LAUNCHES FEBRUARY 2025 HOLE ERTH OUT NOW VIA DEAD OCEANS

“Walking In The Rain” video still What the press is saying about Hole Earth:  “With Hole Erth, Toro y Moi broke free” Rolling Stone “[Hole Erth] lays the foundation for the future of the musical zeitgeist—a genre-fluid, multigenerational landscape. Paste Magazine “Toro y Moi’s inimitable style shines through.” Consequence  “Erth is a record that blends ingenuity and honesty in a stellar and imaginative way—looking back, but never getting warped by nostalgia.” FLOOD Magazine “‘Hole Erth’ [continues to] to expand his already extensive scope, existing in the interim of a multitude of sounds and styles, and ignoring any rules or constraints” HYPEBEAST  “[T]here is something about the tenderness that these songs somehow convey, and a philosophical bit to the way he builds his sound” NPR Hole Erth  https://toroymoi.lnk.to/Hole-Erth WATCH: “Walking In The Rain” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKeBeVMJ2ac (October 31, 2024) - Toro y Moi releases the video for Hole Erth opener “Walking In The Rain” directed by longtime creative collaborator Harry Israelson. The video is presented in partnership with designer Salehe Bembury (who makes a cameo as a news anchor in the video) and Crocs and features Chaz Bear sporting the new Bembury-designed Crocs Pollex Cypress Boot, the latest in the designer’s long standing partnership with the footwear brand. “Walking In The Rain” has proven to be a highlight from Hole Erth, an album in which Bear allowed himself the freedom to explore his relationships with both hip hop and the punk music on which he was raised through Toro y Moi for the first time. Fittingly, “Walking In The Rain” first debuted just days ahead of the release of Hole Erth through a session with pioneering rap platform On The Radar. The video’s release arrives on the heels of Toro y Moi performing his biggest Bay Area headline show to date last week at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley with Aminé and recently announcing a 2025 headline tour with special guest Panda Bear that sees the two artists trekking across North America from February to May of next year. Tickets for the upcoming tour with Panda Bear are available for purchase now here. Watch the video for “Walking In the Rain” above now and see below for all upcoming Toro y Moi tour dates. More about Hole Erth: 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.
