We still have to wait awhile to hear Toro y Moi’s followup to 2010′s Causers of This, but in the meantime, he’s got a mixtape:

Toro y Moi is a bit of a hero here at FACT, and not just for his music. The filter-heavy, daydreamed pop music of last year’s Causers of This found him grouped in with the “chillwave” sect of post-Ariel Pink bedroom artists, but whereas most of his contemporaries revel in the safety of washed out, faux-Polaroid style press shots, Toro y Moi wears amazing clothes, has an awesome dog, and isn’t afraid to show it off in high definition. Fuck you tumblr, Toro’s aiming for GQ.

And as the music so far leaked from his forthcoming second album, Underneath the Pine, appears to prove, Toro’s music contains got lasting power way beyond that of trends. Recent cuts like ‘Still Sound’ and ‘New Beat’ identify him as one of the most natural songwriters to have emerged in the past few years, while recently inaugurated dance project Les Sins invites fans to meet another side of Toro; one also explored in his FACT mix, which features the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, Mount Kimbie and Harald Björk.

Grab it here.

Disco bassline, fireworks, jumping on cardboard boxes – count us in! This video for “New Beat” from Toro y Moi’s upcoming Underneath the Pine is sun-drenched and looks like a ton of fun.

UPDATE: Force Field PR gave us the heads up that the video is actually a fake, released without permission… so we removed it.  The real “New Beat” video will be arriving next week. Stay tuned.
