Background notes
Archive material and source history
Toku is an electronic band from Los Angeles that formed in 2016 around singer and producer Matthew Dear. They've released three albums, starting with their self-titled debut in 2016, followed by 'Clarity' in 2018 and 'Into the Void' in 2021. Their sound pulls from 90s electronica and techno, built on atmospheric synths and driving rhythms.
Their track 'Deeper' became something of an anthem for them, with its hypnotic beat and Dear's plaintive vocals creating an immersive, introspective mood. Another song, 'Roberta,' appears in their catalog, though the existing history doesn't elaborate on it. The band's lineup includes drummer Michael Zerang and keyboardist Autry Fulbright II alongside Dear.
In 2018, Dear faced accusations of sexual misconduct from multiple women, which brought public scrutiny to the band. He issued a public apology and vowed to address his behavior. The group continued working, using their platform to discuss accountability and sexual assault awareness.
