Toro y moi is so underrated. One of the pillars of the indie lo fi music scene of the late 2000’s/early 2010’s. He deserves more recognition, along with Neon Indian.
My dad was the guitarist and singer for the Stargazer band. ❤️ I remember the days hanging out with Chaz when we were younger at those band practices. Happy to hear that this is still a core memory for him. 🫶🏼
How he refers to us young music lovers/artists as “kids” when giving out advice warms my heart. He really is the artist to look up to and learn a thing or two from as he quite literally created a genre with his own sound. Forever love Chaz!! Thanks for bringing him on
Discovering Toro y moi in 2011 not only led me to listening to Tyler but also led me to figuring who I am (punny). I seriously do not know who I’d be without Chaz or Tyler, those two dudes have been huge influences on me just by being themselves and creating their art. Forever grateful for them both 🙏🏾
Chillwave pioneer. So glad Chaz is getting recognition. 2010s era will be so special to us millennials. Washed out, neon Indian, small Black, million young, strfkr, naked and famous. We getting old 😢
What a massively chill guy he is. I literally went out and bought his album "Mahal" after watching that listening party video, it was hilarious and the album is fantastic.
Discovering Toro Y Moi on GTAV Radio was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It's been crazy watching his progression over 10 years since then. Such an amazing, talented artist that keeps it fresh every project. Toro y Moi Forever
@@valentinarmenta4982 he has like 3 songs in the game, harm in change, so many details from anything in return and new beat from underneath the pine. Two in Mirror Park Radio and one at WorldWide FM
It brings me so much joy how artists of all genres welcome Nardwuar. Especially after the 90s and 2000s era when artists used to be violent against Nardwuar just for the crooked fun: steal his hat, destroy his rare gifts, abuse him verbally. Nardwuar used to hide in the toilet to get to the green room for the interview. Now he has his own special booth in the festival and fans love him. Also I enjoyed the Toro’s cameo in Tyler’s interview and I started to listen to his music (ad well as dozen others). Nardwuar speaks about music a lot and this is what opens artists even more than their childhood facts. Legend
@@jamesorsak8592watch the blur interview too, the drummer Dave Rowntree is very physically aggressive to Nardwuar (something he has since been very publicly apologetic and remorseful about since in fairness).
Chaz? He’s already peaked in terms of popularity but has a steady, loyal fan base and will always have the attention of music nerds and publications for years to come. He’s been around for a while at this point. His monthly listeners on Spotify are always pretty instant as well. He just does his thing and consistently reinvents himself.
Been a fan of Toro since 2009, this interview has such a vibe, he's humble and I love how Nard just keeps surprising him. Thank you as always nardwuar!!!
I used to see his old band Heist and the Accomplice at New Brookland Tavern in Columbia SC and the whole place would turn into a dance party. So happy for this dude.
Still my number one artist and inspiration after so many years, much love to Chaz. Listening to his music has really helped me learn about myself and i can't thank him enough for sharing with us all and being himself genuinely.
I remember discovering chaz in 2011-2012 and how cool I thought it was that he made such good music out of his bedroom. His discography has a wide variety of genres but they are always so good. One of my biggest inspos!!!
I went to see Steve Lacy live at the RE:SET festival this past summer, and i will not lie, but Toro y Moi was by far my favorite performance from that lineup, def out performed Steve Lacy that day 🔥 super underrated artist and i’m a bigger fan of him after this interview 🤙
6:57 I always love when the artist being interviewed tries to figure out who Nardwuar contacted to get this information they're being asked about from.
I was lucky enough to meet Chaz back in 2010 when he played with Caribou in Los Angeles, he was very nice in person after the show he waited by the exit and greeted everyone who wanted to say hi and I was able to get a picture with him on film 😊 Also saw him that same year I believe when he played with Nosaj thing. Man what a great time, seeing these amazing artists in intimate spaces for like $15.
I think just as impressive as the research he’s doing is the fact that he’s remembering all this stuff about multiple people, not sure how much time was in between these camp flog naw interviews but it’s impressive to recall all that, even with notes
My favorite artist of all time, so glad he’s doing great and seems so happy. I think he’s our generations Herbie Hancock, so versatile and everything is quality.
I've been a huge fan of Toro y Moi since like 09. I bought an MPC back then because I wanted to make music like him. Never could hit that same sound but huge influence. Glad to see him get the Nardwuar treatment.
Sweet, Innocent Sounding All Throught and Then the Deep Voice Send Off At the End Lol. First of Hearing About Toro and I'm Intrigued to Dive Into His Discography. Great Interview By Nardy, As Always!
Nice guy, gotta tap in with his music. Only heard the track he had wit Jack back in da day but off this interview alone, you could tell bro a true musician!
One of the greatest artists of our time, FINALLY!!!!! Been waiting on this for so long, and it’s everything I could’ve ever hoped for 😁 Thank you to Nardwuar and Toro and Tyler ❤️
Toro y Moi is awesome he was the main artist who got me into indie music when i discovered him in GTA V and Forza Horizon 2 games back in the mid 2010s
Toro y moi is so underrated. One of the pillars of the indie lo fi music scene of the late 2000’s/early 2010’s. He deserves more recognition, along with Neon Indian.
Neon Indian was huge. 2010 electronic inde is undefeated. Naked and famous, Strfkr,m83,all up there with neon indian.
I love Toro so much and also feel they are heavily underrated
FACTS
Neon Indian created chillwave for my money. The song Deadbeat Summer was the birth.
Toro y Moi, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Etherea, MILLIONYOUNG, Baths, what a time to be alive.
My dad was the guitarist and singer for the Stargazer band. ❤️ I remember the days hanging out with Chaz when we were younger at those band practices. Happy to hear that this is still a core memory for him. 🫶🏼
What’s he like Chaz
WOW, this Is so cool yo read as a toro y moi fan😮
Nard finally caught up with Toro. Dope.

Fucking finally my boy Toro has his own Nardwuar interview, this man deserves so much respect
High key one of the most consistent artists of this generation, discography as solid as anyone’s
Easily. He’s such a legend

The 2010s were the worst for me

Its not his best kinda mids
The listening party is such a fun video, I’m always quoting it with my friends. “Classic Chaz” lol
his best in a while though@@valentinarmenta4982
Mahal is loaded with feels. Surreal album really.

Artist were violent against him I mean I believe you but hard to believe is there video or documentary showing this or how'd you find out such things?
@@jamesorsak8592there’s definitely been a few rough ones where people are bullying him, Blur and Sonic Youth come to mind
@@jamesorsak8592sonic youth absued narduwar. The bathroom is how he got an interview with nirvana.
@@jamesorsak8592look up the sonic youth interviews, both of them

He seems so down to Earth. Hope he keeps on gaining traction.

He’s been making classics sense 2010
HE JUST BE DROPPIN BANGER AFTER BANGER
Been a fan of Toro since 2009, this interview has such a vibe, he's humble and I love how Nard just keeps surprising him. Thank you as always nardwuar!!!
Listened to Mahal a bunch last summer after my dad died. It will always have a special place in my heart.
bro so polite he asked "can i cuss?"
Love this dudes music. One of the few artists who in my opinion does not have a miss in his discography. Even the Sandhills EP was solid.
the fact this has only 63k views as of writing this and ice spice has 400k in less than a day shows you the absolute state of music
One of the greatest “doot doo”s of all time 😂
Super unexpected and metal
Hell yeah
I used to see his old band Heist and the Accomplice at New Brookland Tavern in Columbia SC and the whole place would turn into a dance party. So happy for this dude.
Here we go! Toro y Moi, super, super underappreciated!
So stoked on this. Thank you Nardwuar, thank you Chaz!
Huge Toro fan! Being from Columbia makes it even more special. He references bands and locations I’m so familiar with. Love this interview!
Still my number one artist and inspiration after so many years, much love to Chaz. Listening to his music has really helped me learn about myself and i can't thank him enough for sharing with us all and being himself genuinely.
This is actually Nardwuar’s best work of all of CFG this year. Some very crazy references here and Toro y Moi kept his cool haha
"What did you think of the pedal I gave Tyler TC?" Nardwuar, I think Toro y Moi was expecting one from you....
Its such a joy to finally see Toro Y Moi get his Nardwuar moment. Chaz has been the idol of many icons and this interview has been long due.
I remember discovering chaz in 2011-2012 and how cool I thought it was that he made such good music out of his bedroom. His discography has a wide variety of genres but they are always so good. One of my biggest inspos!!!
he’s so sweet i just love this man so much
truly a gem of a human being and an important cultural icon. love narduwar love chaz
Oh come now
I saw Toro live for the first time at flog gnaw and it was such a beautiful experience, most fun set of the weekend for sure
So lucky
Ijbol at him asking nardwuar "can i cuss" and nardwuar just moving onto the next topic
I went to see Steve Lacy live at the RE:SET festival this past summer, and i will not lie, but Toro y Moi was by far my favorite performance from that lineup, def out performed Steve Lacy that day 🔥 super underrated artist and i’m a bigger fan of him after this interview 🤙

good vibes from a good artist
I love the people that are actually human and aren’t rude and too good
Shoutout Tyler for shoutouting Toro
I think just as impressive as the research he’s doing is the fact that he’s remembering all this stuff about multiple people, not sure how much time was in between these camp flog naw interviews but it’s impressive to recall all that, even with notes
I love you Toro. Such an inspiration to me and many others. You are a legend and one of my goats. Good stuff Nardwuar
hes so soft spoken and chill :') so cute
I cannot believe how slept on this interview is. love ya nardy. toro you're a legend! the difference still on repeat haha
I been a Toro fan since 2012 when him and Tyler did that unreleased track “Hey You” and I’m happy seeing him interview by Nardwuar
Shout out Saskatoooon. I ran into Chaz in MTL in 2015, it was great to chat with him, and that he took the time to have a conversation!
Chaz is a treasure, he deserves more appreciate for work
Toro is super underrated, he doesn't get enough respect.
Wow I love that he shouted out Bar Part Time in SF!
Toro y Moi is one of my top artists of all time, Anything in Return was my favorite album in my early 20s and all of his works have never missed.
Love the change he's made over the years, but Studies and Cola are forever top tier Toro tracks
the whole chillwave scene in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s was awesome
My favorite artist of all time, so glad he’s doing great and seems so happy. I think he’s our generations Herbie Hancock, so versatile and everything is quality.
That's high praise!!! Agreed!!
this man is a pioneer
It is so good to finally see Nardwuar receiving the acclaim he rightly deserves.
Long time Toro fan here. I've been waiting for so long for this. ❤
I love Toro with all my heart
Been a fan since Kanye had Blessa and Talamak on his blog in 2009.
Started listening to toro three years ago and unlocked so much enjoyment this is awesome
I've been a huge fan of Toro y Moi since like 09. I bought an MPC back then because I wanted to make music like him. Never could hit that same sound but huge influence. Glad to see him get the Nardwuar treatment.
The crossover we needed
The REAL question is WHO OWNS an original CD-R demo that Chaz used to pass around?!?! Yooooo.... ref: 4:55
I’m so happy I went to camp and saw nardwuar and all of my fav artists
Still have my signed Chaz vinyls/posters ♥️
love all these flog gnaw interviews!!!! please tell me u caught up w the marías ❤️❤️
Please come back to Canada soon Toro!!
The way he said "can i cuss" we need to protect chaz at all costs, such a great human
LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO
this makes me so happy
Hearing Nard talk about New Brooklyn Tavern was unreal lol
One of Toro best interviews hands down
He really helped through highschool so glad they caught him
I knew this was coming after watching Tylers video but still could not wait !
Hahahaha Chaz’s cheesing the whole time this is great
Toro y Moi!! Yes!! Thank you for all of these interviews lately!
Sweet, Innocent Sounding All Throught and Then the Deep Voice Send Off At the End Lol. First of Hearing About Toro and I'm Intrigued to Dive Into His Discography. Great Interview By Nardy, As Always!
Chaz is THE SC legend
I saw him in Toronto on one of his early Canadian tours 😊❤️
He's so sweet. Seems like a nice guy to be around.
This dude Nardwuar was working overtime at Flog Gnaw.
Nice guy, gotta tap in with his music. Only heard the track he had wit Jack back in da day but off this interview alone, you could tell bro a true musician!
Dude seems chill
One of the greatest artists of our time, FINALLY!!!!! Been waiting on this for so long, and it’s everything I could’ve ever hoped for 😁 Thank you to Nardwuar and Toro and Tyler ❤️
LEGENDARY. 2 Legends
Since discovering Nardwaur this week he is now how I define a Canadian in my mind
Pretty much lol
Yesss Chaz!! Have loved his music since 2011.
Time to listen to Rose Quartz!
Toro y Moi has been a favorite of mine for so long. I love this moment!
best artist in the world
Toro y Moi is awesome he was the main artist who got me into indie music when i discovered him in GTA V and Forza Horizon 2 games back in the mid 2010s
Chaz is one of my biggest inspirations both artistically and personally
Toro is highly underrated dude is a genius and great shout of for Caribou. I can totally see the influence.
Wow how did I miss this. Great interview
Nah that last doo doot was out of character, we need a toro y moi screamo album now hahaha
My first time listening to Toro was his song My Touch, I’ve been hooked ever since
His first 4 LPs bring back the best memories 🤙🌊
dude hit the sickest doot doo lol
great interview!!
Toro y Moi is one of my favorites! So glad to see this!
Mr. Chaz looks a bit shy during this interview, like something slowly meltdowns inside him. But entire interview are close to gorgeous.
I LOVE TORO Y MOI 😭♥️ I’ve been listening to his music since I was in HS along with watching Nardwaurs interviews. So I’m so damn happy to see this!!
Been waiting for years, shout out tyler man
Toro is super underrated. Hes a wizard at what he does.
I love you chaz. OG atl fan here - fond memories of seeing you drunken unicorn… i miss the balkans days
