BOO BOOSPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC | BANDCAMP

“Informed, gripping, refreshing twists on classic disco, funk, and R. & B.” – The New Yorker

[Boo Boo] might just be the best Toro Y Moi album yet … a sunny, contemplative drift, like Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks theme remade as minimal dance-pop.” – Stereogum

“Sounds just like a summer-love daydream feels.” – The Fader

“Toro y Moi is so good at making songs in this mode that he’s in no danger of being written out of musical history.” – Vulture

“An immersive and deep-blue work that counts as his most diverse album yet.” – Noisey

“Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bear sounds increasingly comfortable as a lead vocalist and personality on his most personal album to date, as a still-funky but more ambient side of his writing emerges.” – Pitchfork

“A return to the Anything in Return Toro, a lo-fi sound full of detuned synths, earnest, cooing vocals, and a hip-hop backbone. ” – Pigeons & Planes

“Lushly funky and emotive tunes about life and love’s elusive tendencies.” – AV Club

“With each Toro y Moi album, we discover new aspects about Bear as an artist-he’s able to maintain a characteristic sound without becoming formulaic.” – Pretty Much Amazing

“The best songs have a haunted wistfulness that is impossible to forget.” – The Guardian

“An engaging, immersive album that unfolds itself over repeated listens.” – Pop Matters

“Listening to its gorgeous, woozy pop is like lying in a Radox bath.” – Mixmag

“A soul-baring and highly cathartic therapy session for both the artist and his listeners.” – Clash
