Chaz Bear has been making records as Toro y Moi long enough to help kick off a whole genre and then wander right out of it. Born Chazwick Bradley Bundick on November 7, 1986, the Columbia-bred singer, songwriter and producer (he's a graphic designer on the side) got pegged early as one of the architects of chillwave, standing alongside Washed Out and Neon Indian when that hazy, sun-bleached bedroom-synth sound first came drifting in.
The alias is a little multilingual mash-up: "toro y" is Spanish for "bull and", and "moi" is French for "me". Fittingly for a guy whose name won't settle on one language, his music hasn't settled on one style either, soaking up sounds from all over as the records have piled up.
MAHAL, out on Carpark Records in 2022, is the latest stop on that restless road, a synth-pop record with its feet in a loose, easy groove, and "Postman" gave rock radio something slinky to chew on.
