Then we’re classmates too! I was just watching Tank and the Bangaz Tiny Desk and realized ‘yo, that’s that cool guy’s high school band!” Look at those Cola kids making waves.
Right?! I went RV too and we had PE together...such a nice and funny kid. I had no clue he was a famous artist until my little sister told me. So now I'm researching his work.
Man, big same! I couldn't stop smiling all throughout. Chaz just has such a genuine, happy kind face and eyes; every time he smiles I can't help but smile as well :))
Love how that mantra gains steam through the performance: "I want a brand new house; something I cannot buy, something I can't afford." It gets sillier and realer the more you say it, the independent clauses intertwining and feeding back on each other.
I agree with all the other comments... these guys are probably more talented than all the other musicians! They play with soo much passion and it's soo complex. Just amazing. I didn't know this level of talent existed. Kind of Blue? More like kinda Moi! Chick Corea... Jaco Pastorius, Aretha Franklin.... y'all can eat your hearts out! omg. I just don't have any more words..... just.....yea..... wow
I love Chaz’s work. Every new album. Every new sound. He’s like my musical soulmate. Also, very sweet. Noticed me vibing front row of one of his concerts and directly handed me the set list. Love him for that
@@seneca4ever It's a lyric from his song "Girl Like You". Pellegrino is a type of mineral water that usually comes in glass bottles and as you can tell from the lyrics, his ideal preference in consuming it, is straight from the bottle- no cup. of course.
Everything about this performance is amazing! I love his voice, lyrics and genuine warmth that he radiates. Also, nice shoutout to Cazadero. The band is wonderful too. Such a different experience hearing these songs stripped down and raw. Thanks, Tiny Desk. You’ve done it again.
Toro is a guaranteed vibe! 😌 love how they dip into different sounds with each coming project, yet keep their same underlying essence. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
I love Tiny Desk amazing guest on this show, I'm fan of most of the artists that been on here. Toro y Moi is amazing his singing voice remind me of Miguel and Steve Lacy.
I love his sweet voice!! What a great musician, lyricists, artist, creator and producer he is. Toro y Moi has been my favorite during the last year, pretty much ever since I discovered him. I love him ❤️. He is one of the greatest music legends of our generation guys!
I wasn't the greatest of fans of Chaz until I heard his tiny desk. Feel like there is so much more to his songs when they are stripped to the bare minimum. The bass and piano resonate so much more and his voice is really mellow, something that is missing from the album. The mixing and mastering is really nice tho, but if he could realease an album in the tiniy desk spirit, I feel like I'd listen to it in repeat for days, which is what I've been doing with this video!
Laws of the Universe is such an amazing song. So underrated. I love the album cut but the live version feels like a completely different song, in a good way. Chaz is a genius.
So happy Chaz is doing well. Anything in Return was the second album I ever closely watched and anticipated months leading up to the release (after 'Shrines' by Purity Ring the year before), and it's great he's continued doing amazing stuff. This album, Soul Trash, Boo Boo, he's been killing it. He was my favorite artist through early college until I over-listened to his music and switched to Born Ruffians, but even with my tastes shifting more to The Mountain Goats and King Gizzard, Chaz is still in my heavy plays. Deservedly so.
I fainted when I saw this man at Terminal 5, but this time I have a chair to catch me. Chaz is a sonological creative genius in so many ways. AND Thank you always NPR-for providing that real-life experience over the web.
I've know Toro Y moi for years , glad to know that he's gaining some notoriety finally....hes very talentedand creative therefore he deserves all of the best things in the world...
CHAZ! ITS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU ON NPR’S TINY DESK! ! Been waiting months for this set! I love the A Capella of the synths, and vibe all around! So playful and spunky!
thanks for having us and enjoy !
Good vibes.
Come to Chile please:(( te quiero mucho
Great set, y'all! When I escape south Arkansas imma come find you live!
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE U LIVE IN SINGAPORE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Toro y Moi no! Thank you
It's cool to see your high school classmate have a blossoming career and seeing the growth over the past decade. Kudos to you Chaz.
That's unreal
its cool that he's local to Columbia!

Hah! Too good.

Bass player is fantastic as well :-)
@@bernlin2000 bassist has a band called Kid Trails. Pretty good stuff too
The piano player has his own band, called Astronauts etc
I didn't know that was him! How cool! I love Astronauts etc
It just confirms how well these songs are written when they sound this good without synth and such.
that’s exactly how I feel! What a shame. I actually skipped his songs on Spotify before.
Yup, behind all those computer generated sounds and such, there’s some beautiful chords and stuff behind it
I think it’s way better this way
I truly agree

I love Toro y Moi, he manages to keep it fresh with every release and his work is prolific, man works hard. Respect.
Alex Blogg Spot on, long live this man
Toro y Moi is the group. Lead vocalist name is Chaz.
@@thamamukumela9514 haha, yeah I spotted that after I commented. Chaz basically makes Toro y Moi though right?
@@thamamukumela9514 Toro Y Moi is a solo project, Chaz just performs live as a band.
Thama Mukumela thank you for saying this. Toro Y Moi is the whole band. Chaz is the vocalist. All of these guys are dope.
NPR is confirmation that we have good taste in music.
indeed
Facts
Ѯ Aww. Thanks. I’m actually not snobby or hip but your comment makes me feel like I’m on the right track.
Defund NPR.
He looks and sounds like he could love me so sweetly.
I love his music, but I also wanted to say that he’s very cute.
Absolutely. I don't think I am attracted to guys, but boy is he a handsome one.
voice and lyrics so flat tho
@@surgodt that's what they all say
I dont know what it is about “new house” that does something to my soul, even the original version, so simple, yet so...ahhhhhh
An acoustic version of all these songs should be released, esp New House! 10/10
Cameron Barnes agreed!
New House is absolutely gorgeous in this version!
Please get hiatus kaiyote and vulfpeck to do tiny desk.
vulfpeck would be insane
hiatus!!!!!
Haitus would be amazing for tiny desk! Luckily I’m seeing them on Friday
and peach pit maybe, or please
I second that!
Chaz is the kind of guy to do a group project and not put his name on it. This guy seems super humble. Keep it up guys!
You know that feeling you get when you see a friend and it just makes you smile. I get that every time.
Man, big same! I couldn't stop smiling all throughout. Chaz just has such a genuine, happy kind face and eyes; every time he smiles I can't help but smile as well :))
And the Funk shall be within you.

Chaz out here making that hipster trap music.
like trying to be ironic, or not?
It’s “indie hipster trap vibe art noises”
Yes
Toro a goat but s/o's to the audio engineers for this one
Antonio Velazquez facts it’s coming out of my system really clean and the clarity is amazing
Right!
the shakers sound so beautiful :o
The mixing is insane!!!
rarely do u see engineers get this much love in RUclips comments lol. "YO THIS MASTERING GOES HARD AF 😤"
I want him to take me to a cofee place where we will discuss about our feelings and about love.
Desveaux Valentin yea!
😂 jc
this is so wholesome
Quit being so gay .....ok?
Luis _ fuck off luis
The sound is SO CLEAN!
tiny desk engineers are LEGENDARY
Love how that mantra gains steam through the performance: "I want a brand new house; something I cannot buy, something I can't afford." It gets sillier and realer the more you say it, the independent clauses intertwining and feeding back on each other.
Why does this not have 1 million views yet? gosh this man deserves tens of millions... a legend in the mist
It's at 1.8 million now
I just can’t get over the sound quality of every Tiny Concert I’ve heard...and that’s pretty much every one of them!!
It's easy to set your levels in small spaces.
This man is Just BEAUTIFUL!!! Inside AND Out!
we need a Solange tiny desk
Felipe Jadue Halabi In her recent live shows, she tends to squat a lot... I’d love to see her sing and squat on a desk 😂
A SOTC tiny desk
YES YES AND YES
I love the rhinestones on under his eyes - he looks so cute!!
A loooooook
like fctories far away
Reality's tight
when the music is right
:)

Ain't no reason to fight ❤
Outer peace and anything in return are two of my favorite albums of all time
chaz’s voice is so light and clear i adore it
I still come back to this as one of my favorite Tiny Desks. ❤️
no u dont understand this is a human sunshine and that smile is making me melt
So glad hes on this show, Ive been a fan of toro y moi for many years
These songs are great. I love when heavily-produced music is stripped down this way--it really shows whether the music can stand on its own.
One of my best discoveries of the 2010’s, Toro y moi
I agree with all the other comments... these guys are probably more talented than all the other musicians! They play with soo much passion and it's soo complex. Just amazing.

James Murphy is playing in my house, nice one! He really does
Drums are so crisp, everyone's in sync, pleasure to watch
I love Chaz’s work. Every new album. Every new sound. He’s like my musical soulmate. Also, very sweet. Noticed me vibing front row of one of his concerts and directly handed me the set list. Love him for that
I’m cracking open a Pellegrino right now! From the bottle, no cup of course.

you killed it!!!
ayyy
Chaz's energy is contagious
So in love with this, Toro y Moi always manages to keep fresh, impressive to see him on tiny desk
Man for all the electronic type beats on their album, they sound really good in a live setting. Props to the audio engineers too.
Did he just reference Prometheus and Bob?!! Outstanding.
Everything about this performance is amazing! I love his voice, lyrics and genuine warmth that he radiates. Also, nice shoutout to Cazadero. The band is wonderful too. Such a different experience hearing these songs stripped down and raw. Thanks, Tiny Desk. You’ve done it again.
just clicked on this while my Netflix was loading. Stayed until the end. Awesome!!

I am listening it 10 times a day, cuz my 2yo daughter asks me.
She is like "Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh" all day. :D
My 3 year old daughter is hooked on the Idles tiny desk. She runs around saying "concrete to leather!" All day
Lol im hooked right now to idles and toro y moi, and my 3 year son sings that same toro & moy bit
Toro is a guaranteed vibe! 😌 love how they dip into different sounds with each coming project, yet keep their same underlying essence. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
How in the world... I opened RUclips thinking hey, I'd quite like to hear Toro y moi rn and there he was! First video! On tiny desk! What
Did the same happen to all of you or like why am I getting all the likies ^^
Dude same
Isn't that just so cool when that happens
This guys smile seems so kind and warm
As soon as I clicked on it, I said it was too short but I’ll be grateful.
YOOOOOOOO TORO Y MOI IS IN TINY DESK
That’s the funkiest upright piano!
I want to cry everytime I listen to New house, and this acoustic version is really overwhelming me
I feel exactly the same. So many songs sound far better when they are played in front of a tiny desk...
The piano reminds me of japanese jazz-hop, i would die for a version with sax on it.
This is my 1st time hearing this music and its timeless.
I love Tiny Desk amazing guest on this show, I'm fan of most of the artists that been on here. Toro y Moi is amazing his singing voice remind me of Miguel and Steve Lacy.
Toro’s work is so amazing. Seeing them here is even more exciting. Love from Colombia.
I don't... and then the piano started playing.. That was dope, what a smooth transition!
They sound so good, glad to get to know " Toro & Moi"
Upbeat and energetic music full of life, thank you!
I still bump “soo many details” at least once a week. A perfect song
Toro y moi will go down as timeless.
Amazed that Chaz has never been on Tiny Desk before. Dude has been killin it for a while now.
Those harmonies on "Ordinary Pleasure" were literally FLAWLESS. Congrats to Chaz and the band for making it so far.
James Murphy is playing at my house... my house
Proceeds to sing about wanting to buy a brand new house 🤔😂
I met him at...Coachella.
All rare shit, from Flying Dutchman...
Love that reference, he even sings it like James would
Child voice ...all we need that...👍👍🙏🙏
This is my new favorite tiny desk concert.
This guy obviously deserves a tiny desk. His voice and aura just matches their concept...just a destined perfect match!...
I love his sweet voice!! What a great musician, lyricists, artist, creator and producer he is. Toro y Moi has been my favorite during the last year, pretty much ever since I discovered him. I love him ❤️. He is one of the greatest music legends of our generation guys!
Okay I watched this like 4 times. This band is incredible live.
Well this was just delightful, and clear evidence Chaz didn't need all that electronic stuff to sound great...dude's talent is RAW 🌟
beautiful
I'm obsessed with this performance.
The little face he pulls when he mixes up the words in Freelance is adorable

7:20 "nothings ever work than worse unnoticed" his face when he messed up 😳😂
Great performance!
Wow, didn't think this would work...but it do! So laid-back and groovy. Good job Chaz and co.!
I'm no bassist but the bass lines on these songs are 🔥🔥🔥 grooves for days.
dynamic between keys and bass is monumental. singer kills. one of the best i’ve heard on npr. bring back that disco baby, in an intellectual mastery.
So happy Chaz is doing well. Anything in Return was the second album I ever closely watched and anticipated months leading up to the release (after 'Shrines' by Purity Ring the year before), and it's great he's continued doing amazing stuff.

Music to my ears
These guys seem like such cool dudes. Love the vibes. Thanks for making music!
Great finding new music on here, love this groove
I love new house but i wish we got it with his normal voice like here because good lord its so beautiful live
I fainted when I saw this man at Terminal 5, but this time I have a chair to catch me. Chaz is a sonological creative genius in so many ways. AND Thank you always NPR-for providing that real-life experience over the web.
Recently discovered their music, love it
Thank you Phantogram radio on Amazon Prime
chaz is SUCH a cutie!!! ugh what a pure tiny desk set
Perfect way to have started my morning
Toro y Moi is a heck of a live band. I totally get it now.
The pianist, Anthony Ferraro, is also known as Astronauts, etc. Great stuff 😌
Thought he looked familiar, interesting!
No wonder he’s so fire
DID NOT KNOW THAT!!
Yuppp!! Dude is fire, hope me make more music soon.
Thanks for the recommendation. I dig it.
I've know Toro Y moi for years , glad to know that he's gaining some notoriety finally....hes very talentedand creative therefore he deserves all of the best things in the world...
