Following extensive touring behind What For?, his fourth studio album as Toro Y Moi, acclaimed musician Chaz Bundick brought the band to the middle of the Mojave Desert in April 2016 to play a special concert. Live from Trona documents this experience, recorded live beneath the geological wonders known as the Trona Pinnacles, which formed thousands of years ago in what used to be a prehistoric lake. The album features unique live arrangements of songs from across the band’s catalog, new music, and an expanded band line-up. On the congas, Bay Area multi-instrumentalist Brijean Murphy adds a layer of rhythm, switching between propulsion and deep atmosphere. And for a brand new song, “JBS,” the group is joined by tourmates The Mattson 2. This collaboration between Bundick and the Mattson twins takes on a classic groove with a jazz fusion approach.

 

For the film, nine-time Vimeo Staff Pick director Harry Israelson chose to break the fourth wall, revealing the filmmaking process by making equipment, lights, and crew visible at all times. With no audience in attendance and a spectacular natural environment that feels otherworldly, the film pays homage to rock films of a previous era. As the sun sets behind the pinnacles, the supernatural setting seamlessly weaves together with the 13 psychedelic tracks, all recorded on site over the course of an entire day. Through the use of hand-drawn animations and behind-the-scenes VHS footage, Live from Trona offers viewers a surreal concert experience, placing them front row at a private Toro Y Moi show.

To anyone who was bummed this sold out so fast, it's up on bullmoose now for a very reasonable $18. Double LP on pink vinyl, and as far as I know, this limited pressing is the only pressing.

How's the entire album?

Can't believe I just realized this existed

Sorry about the delayed response, been on a little hiatus lately. I really enjoy it. My favorite Toro album is Anything in Return and this is my second favorite thing he's done any album wise. It's a been short and there's some space in there. I saw an article say there were a lot of psych/prog/jazz influences in there and I would say that is fairly accurate. There aren't a lot of vocals through the entire album but you should give it a shot.
