VIDEO: Toro Y Moi’s “Rose Quartz”

Riddle me this, my brother, can you handle this? This refers to this new video by Toro Y Moi, who has been featured quite a bit here on ThisIsBooksMusic.com that if I had enough money to start a one-day music event, he might be one of the headliners. “Rose Quartz” is his brand new video and he is animated in a very nice way. The song is the 4th single from his album Anything In Return (Carpark), and was put together by Lauren Gregory.

Toro Y Moi is currently on tour and normally I would post the dates, but the cities, states, days, and venue names were completely out of sequence and I didn’t want to rearrange them so if you want to see where he’ll be, click here.

AUDIO: Disclosure featuring Eliza Doolittle’s “You & Me (Toro Y Moi Remix)”

On one hand, you have Disclosure and his song “You & Me”, which features Eliza Doolittle. We have that, correct? Okay.

On the other hand, you have Toro Y Moi, king of the land, ruler of what he does. He has created a remix of Disclosure’s “You & Me”, which features Eliza Doolittle. We have that too, correct?

Now look at your hands. Are they filthy or clean? You now realize this post has nothing to do with your real hands, but rather how happy this song may make you. Or me. Or “You & Me”. See how that works? Good.
