Toro Y Moi's been prepping for the release of his new album for a minute. In 2018, he blessed us with a few singles in preparation for his new project and linked up with Rome Fortune for their joint project, Toro Y Rome Vol. 1. As today marks the first Friday of the year filled with a ton of major music releases, Toro Y Moi comes through with his anticipated new project, Outer Peace.
Toro Y Moi is back with his latest project, Outer Peace. The singer/producer's new project runs for 10-tracks and features the previously released singles, "Ordinary Pleasure" and "Freelance." Toro Y Moi holds down the majority of the project on his own but he does tap Abra, Wet, and Instupendo for some assistance on the project.
In a press release for the album's announcement, Chaz Bear described the project as "a response to how disposable culture has become and how it affects creativity. While listening, you might pay attention or ignore, either way that's ok, this is music for a creative mind."
Peep the new project below.
