“Magic is real.”
A year following the original album release, MAHAL by Toro y Moi gets the full live treatment with MAHAL (Live from Big Sur). Recorded live at Fernwood Resort along the central coast on September 23, 2022, the new work sees Chaz Bear’s group playing through the full album in its original order. Sunny psychedelia swirling into foggy rhythm and blues, the album is all about love of self, one’s ancestors and descendants, and the places we inhabit. The original album cover and music video for “The Loop” specifically highlighted the unique natural beauty and diverse human beauty of the Bay Area, but Big Sur is not too far off, a close relative, a spiritual cousin—the perfect place to explore these blissed out, heartful sounds.
