Toro y Moi started as the solo project of Chaz Bear, who took his solo musical endeavors to greater and greater heights of sophistication on a series of releases with the encouragement of his friend from school, Ernest Greene of Washed Out.

Toro y Moi project will return this spring with the new album Mahal.
Michelle Zauner a.k.a. Japanese Breakfast has announced a new album called Jubilee. It arrives on June 4 via Dead Oceans. Zaunder has also shared the album’s first single, ‘Be Sweet’, alongside an accompanying video that pays tribute to the cult sci-fi show The X-Files.
