What For?

by Toro y Moi

What For? cover art

Continuing to distance himself from the laptop-driven chillwave of his origins, Chaz Bear fully embraces live-band instrumentation and sunshine pop nostalgia. The incredibly warm, summery arrangements draw heavily on 1970s soft rock, funk, and heavily chorused guitar riffs. It acts as a breezy, melodic exploration of shifting friendships and the pressures of entering his late twenties.
