Editor's note

Toro Y Moi's drifting, layered indie pop

Chaz Bear's project mixes electronic textures with hazy melodies across albums like 'Causers of This' and 'Underneath the Pine.'

For the vibe, 'Still Sound' is still the one. If you want something newer, 'I Can Get Love' shows he hasn't lost the touch.

Toro Y Moi gave bedroom pop a specific kind of atmospheric drift in the early 2010s. Songs like 'Still Sound' and 'So Many Details' balance steady rhythms with layered, hazy production. That sound became a quiet reference point for a lot of indie-leaning electronic music that followed.

Chaz Bear started making music in South Carolina, releasing his first album 'Causers of This' in 2010. He followed it with records like 'Underneath the Pine' and 'Anything in Return,' mostly as a solo venture with occasional collaborations like Washed Out.

Archive material and source history

Toro Y Moi is the project of American musician Chaz Bear, who started making music in South Carolina. His first album, 'Causers of This,' came out in 2010, followed by records like 'Underneath the Pine' and 'Anything in Return.'

Bear's songs often have a drifting, layered quality, mixing indie pop with electronic textures. You can hear it in tracks like 'So Many Details' and 'Freelance,' which balance hazy melodies with steady rhythms.

In 2012, there was a legal dispute over whether his song 'Still Sound' borrowed too much from Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On.' The matter was settled out of court. Toro Y Moi has mostly been a solo venture, though Bear has worked with other artists like Washed Out.
