Chaz Bear dropped his latest album as Toro y Moi, Outer Peace, earlier this year. The 10-track effort followed 2017’s Boo Boo and took the project in a funkier, more computerized direction. Last night, Bear and his band brought that digitalized groove to Late Night with Seth Meyers for a performance of lead single “Freelance”.
In matching striped button ups and slacks, Bear and his band laid out the disco beat for the Late Night audience. Full of funk and low on flare, the performance could be a good indicator of what we’ll get when Toro y Moi heads out on his summer tour. The trek includes dates alongside Chromeo and Noname, as well as stops at festivals like Afropunk Brooklyn and San Francisco’s Outside Lands.
