Chaz Bear, aka Toro y Moi, has announced his sixth album, 'Outer Peace'.
Due on January 18 and written and recorded in the Bay Area after the artist spent a year in Portland surrounded by nature, the follow up to 2017's 'Boo Boo' is preceded by an upbeat lead single Freelance, which infuses elements of house and funk with Toro's airy vocals.
The song's accompanying visual is directed by Harry Israelson and offers a look inside Toro's production process, while on a photo set to shoot the album's cover art. Take a look at the arwork, tracklist and view the new video, below.
"This record is a response to how disposable culture has become and how it affects creativity," Toro says. "While listening, you might pay attention or ignore - either way that's ok, this is music for a creative mind."
Toro y Moi will hit the road for a US tour in November.
