“It feels good to be here, so I’m going to try to stay.”
Take a ride in a Jeepney around the Bay and you’ll experience everything from the winter blues to spring sunshine to summer fog. Pass all the Teslas on the Golden Gate Bridge, cruise by your favorite underground studio in Oakland, and then maybe later show off your fancy new website—sparkling with GIFs, primary colors, and big blue underlined hyperlinks—to all your cool San Fran friends.
Finally, with a full heart, say hello to MAHAL, the seventh album from Chaz Bear as Toro y Moi, featuring collaborations with fellow Bay artist Salami Rose Joe Louis as well as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Sofie Royer, and the Mattson 2. The album title means “love” in Tagalog, and that’s what it’s all about. Love of self. Love of one’s ancestors and descendants. Love of music, art, and magic. And, yup, love of the Bay. Read an excellent feature about the new album in KQED.
