Talking to Toro Y Moi 

Chaz has one of the best discographies of this past decade.

Melon has such a furious serious resting face when he's listening god damn

been listening to Toro y Moi since Kanye posted Talamak and Blessa on his blog in 2009. Glad he’s still out here kickin ass

My man speaks like he's giving people geniuine hugs.

Loved the new record. Glad that Chaz is representing 🇵🇭 through his music.

chaz an indie legend

My cousin is a part of the touring band of TYM. He's the "Anthony" that Chaz mentions. Back in December of 2019, I got to record a 3 track mini ep in that warehouse studio he's talking about with my old band for 3 days! Of course I got to see Chaz a little bit and chat with him. I've been able to meet him 4 times before and he's so sweet and cool :)

Just such a humble and down to earth guy, love this dude

Mahal flowed so well. His best since anything in return

Loved what he had to say about representing his southern heritage without being cringey or whatever. Dude is looking to the future while referencing the past.

Still Sound blew me away when I first heard it. This is one of the few artists where i can leave their discography on all day and enjoy every era.

Y'all mahal is lit. I came across it accidentally and am not familiar with his other stuff, but I'm always like "I need new music" and so finally have an artist who is new to me I can dive into :)

Saw him at second sky in Oakland last year. Dude was straight 🔥

chaz's music literally saved my life

I have been a supporter of Toro Y Moi since the early SXSW days. On top of that, he is also partial Filipino so I know he comes from a humble background. I remember meeting him on SXSW a couple of times and I believed in his music so much. Very chill and good, laid back Chaz. Knew I predicted he would tour a lot. I'm just really impressed by his creativity and his connection with his audience. Go Toro!!! Thanks for making a new record

Absolutely love Chaz.

The interviewees lately have been so great

I wanna smoke a j with Chaz Bear.

chaz soul trash is one of my favorite albums pog

Chaz’s smile never fails to improve my day Edit: Finding out that Chaz makes a musical intent to make people laugh, is a breath of fresh air

This record is PHENO"MAHAL" ... as a musician myself I am seriously hooked on this album.

I’m a simple man, I see Melon & Chaz and I click. TYM did not disappoint with this one, Mahal is definitely in my top picks for AOTY.

incoming "i see toro but where is moi" comments... just listen to his album it's great !!!

One of my favorite artists of all time, good to see an interview

that backstory to boo boo was so cool to hear man. I totally knew that upon hearing it for the first time, but also just thought he was choosing to share that experience lyrically for the first time in an album. For me, underneath the pine captures the earthy, cosmic, universal connective energy sonically and he does it so naturally. It was fulfilling to hear the thoughts he articulated lyrically in boo boo.

he seems so down to earth and genuine :) loved watching this

Mahal kita Chaz 🇵🇭💙

Chaz is a legend for dropping those instrumental albums ❤

MAHAL IS SO FCKN GOOD

MAHAL is the best thing he’s done.

from columbia and i go to usc too so chaz making it so big means a lot

Harm in change is a personal favorite

It's pretty neat how Fantano is starting to regularly interview so many artists that he poops on.

Went to his Asheville show this past Saturday, it was a great concert! Love his personality as much as I love his music!

Chaz has been one of my favorites for years now, great to see him on here

What a great effin convo! Chaz is a great subject for an interview to begin with anyway but I loved the chemistry between Melon and Chaz

love you chaz! Play more shows in Oakland, i just got mahal on vinyl at amoeba records

Chaz is one of those artists that is so consistent with creating really good albums. These interviews are fantastic, Anthony.

There is not a bad Toro album. There's either great albums or albums slightly under that, but there are no bad Toro projects.

I am so grateful this popped up in my recommended now, not sure how I didn't see it sooner.

Caught the first stop of the new tour on Mahall release day, what an insanely good show.

what a handsome man

hell yeah one of my favorite musicians of all time. underneath the pine blew my mind growing up and still one of my favorite records.

Chaz Bear is one of the greatest artists living in the Bay. I own everything he's ever done. He always ensures that vinyl is available for his albums. Never knew about the Washed Out connection. Washed Out is my #1, and the connection makes sense. When Chaz said Darius, I thought he was talking about the Roche Musique Darius from Paris.

I love Toro! Thanks for the interview melon

Great score on the interview / brilliant man and artist

love the album roll out and merch.

Chaz is the man. New album slaps

I loved this so much. Suuuuuuch a great reminder why I fell in love with Causers of This.

Anthony about to give Toro Y Moi’s new album an 8/10 after this interview

Getting better and better with age :) Awesome record! Loved the listening party video as well :D

I love his music!!!! It’s so eclectic!!

I was just looking for your review of mahal yesterday wow

Mahal a great album and such a great rollout!

Chaz has been my top 1 artist for almost 10 years now. His music is my inspiration to make something of my own. Such a down-to-earth, talanted and honest guy, perfect role model. Hope someday I'll see him playing live in person

wild coming back to this and now there is a Toro country record w Sandhills lol

Anthony is pro rollout for giving us the Toro y moi album review

Saw em in Chicago right before the pandemic in 2019. What a show!

Would've never expected this

Love Toro y Moi! 💐

30:46 it’s funny how toro y moi now has a county album out 😂

Been waiting on this one 😎

I'm a photographer/writer and I've been a huge fan of toro for a solid decade

I honestly prefer when his albums have that rock band style so I'm glad he returned to that style.

Another good interview.

needed this

thank you Chaz for the album!

Hearing a Toro song in 2011 on a Tyler, The Creator mix was one of the best things to ever happen to me. Huge fan since, new album is great!

this is gonna be hip

yesssss I just saw Chaz on Friday!

we need a Toro Y Moi country album with all percussion is reduced to just bongo drums

Thanks I love this

Can’t believe you didn’t ask him about his bass effects/pedals.

First heard his music in GTA V (Radio Mirror Park) and loved the rest ever since

What For is still #1 for me in terms of my personal liking … But this is almost Anything in Return level for me, fantastic album for Chaz

Concept rollout was dope

My favorite artist!

I need a So Many Details pt.2 or rose quarts man!

I suppose because of the guitar band approach Mahal gives me a vibe similar to Shuggie Otis. I like the humor, I like the album a lot.

My man shoulda showed up on the best drp vid

That album was insane.

Loved mahal, CHAZ a G

Why am I just finding this interview

CHAZ BEAR NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!!!

excellent

i feel like these two could be good friends

Toro Y Moi = toro y (Spanish for 'bull and'), moi (French for 'me'). His surname is Bear so he's saying "Bull and Bear" 😄

Nice

South Carolina's finest!

26:00 the inspiration for sandhills🫡

great shirt

Ayyyy

YES YES YES YES YES

24:55 whoa I didn't know your band shared members with Washed Out, that's cool asf

I hope one day to meet him at a club

I’m new here at fantano 1st video it showed up on my queue….sooo.. probably already been asked but…is this Logic??

Epic

Talamak will always be my favorittttte!!

thank you both for doing what you do, the world is a better place because people like you are here to share with us. keep doing what you are doing and know that it has value!! also listen to LEKKERBOY by Sticky Fingers + If This Isn't Nice, I Don't Know What Is by Still Woozy and make reviews for them and it will make my year

WOOOHOOOOOOOO
