{"product_id":"toro-y-moi-hole-erth-cd","title":"Toro Y Moi - Hole Erth [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHole Erth, Chaz Bear's eighth full-length studio record as Toro y\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoi, is the genre shapeshifter's most unexpected and bold \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emove to date, with Bear diving headlong into rap-rock, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoundcloud rap and Y2K emo. The album blitzes anthemic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epop-punk next to autotuned, melancholic rap - two genres that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einform one another now more than ever before - and packs in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe most features ever on a Toro y Moi album. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA sense of nostalgia sneaks it's way into almost every Toro y Moi \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erelease, but angst is an emotion that Bear has never \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eintentionally explored the way he does here. Tracks like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Tuesday' channel a specific, yet forever-relatable sense of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eadolescent unease. A distorted guitar riff leads into a repeating \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003echorus that conjures misunderstood teenagers singing aloud, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emaybe too loud, while riding bikes through American suburbs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis foreboding can also be heard on \"HOV,\" though not without \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epoking some fun with lines like \"Romance is so cold \/ My \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eadvice? To bring a coat.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBear has the energy, but is acutely aware that his energy isn't \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforever. At a time when the internet is blending multiple genres \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einto one at an increasingly rapid pace, Bear accomplishes the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erare feat of keeping up with the contemporary alternative \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elistener. Constantly changing, evolving and experimenting is the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eheart of Toro y Moi, and on Hole Erth Bear challenges but also \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereclaims himself, embracing the myriad sounds and eras that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eformed him, while crashing new worlds together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinster Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42692996104275,"sku":"656605165523","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/6399\/files\/4350942-3204203.jpg?v=1747334713","url":"https:\/\/www.spinsterrecords.com\/products\/toro-y-moi-hole-erth-cd","provider":"Spinster Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
