Toro Y Moi's sleek, auto tuned hip hop-inspired album, Hole Erth, drops today!

Shop here for the album and gear.

holding back the tide

Emily Packer's hybrid documentary, Holding Back the Tide, surveys the history, environmental concerns of, and transness of the New York City waters' oyster. A unique experience and I learned so much! 

My Film-Forward review is here.

our time in the sun

Here's the music video for the bluesy, bittersweet single, "Our Time in the Sun," from Jeremie Albino out now on streaming platforms. 

Per Albino, "It’s simple but hard-hitting. It turned out to be my favorite song on the record, just one of those love and heartache songs I’ve always wanted to write. The band really took the song and cooked with it right out of the gate, just grooving and feeling good. It made it so easy to pour my heart into this performance."

"Our Time in the Sun" is the title track from Albino's forthcoming LP due out November 1st from Easy Eye Sound. The album was produced by Dan Auerbach.
