A distanza di ben 3 anni dall’uscita dell’ultimo album ufficiale “What For?” Chazwick Bundick aka Toro Y Moi ha annunciato l’uscita di un nuovo LP, “Boo Boo”, in arrivo nella prima settimana di Luglio sull’etichetta di Washington Carpark Records.

È lo stesso producer del South Carolina a raccontarci la genesi di questa sua nuova fatica, che sarà la perfetta commistione tra elettronica, suggestioni R&B e quel tocco “fresco” tipico delle produzioni firmate Toro Y Moi:

During this time of personal turmoil, I turned to music as a form of therapy, and it helped me cope with the pain that I was feeling. I’d listen to the same ambient song over and over again, trying to insulate myself from reality. I fell in love with space again.

By the time I felt ready to begin working on a new record, I knew that this idea of space within music would be something that propelled my new work forward. The artists that were influencing what I was making included everyone from Travis Scott to Daft Punk, Frank Ocean to Oneohtrix Point Never, Kashif and Gigi Masin. I recognized that the common thread between these artists was their attention to a feeling of space, or lack thereof. I decided that I wanted to make a Pop record with these ideas in mind. That idea for a record is what eventually became Boo Boo.

Potete preordinare “Boo Boo” direttamente dl Sito Ufficiale di Carpark Records, in uscita ufficiale il prossimo 7 Luglio in formato doppio LP, CD e digitale. In testata potete invece ascoltare il primo estratto “Girl Like You”. #Enjoythebar
