"Postman" sits on Mahal, the seventh Toro y Moi album, released April 29, 2022 as the project's first record for Dead Oceans. It's close to a one-man show: Chaz Bear wrote it, sings it and is credited with bass, drums, guitar and keyboards, leaving the mix to Patrick Jones.
The album takes its name from the Tagalog word "mahal", meaning love or expensive, and draws on Bear's Filipino heritage on his mother's side. After a first pass at the record, he rebuilt it around an automotive theme sparked by his love of jeepneys, old military jeeps left in the Philippines after American colonization and turned into everyday transport. He even bought one, put it on the cover and drove it to fan meetups while the pandemic kept him from touring.
