Toro Y Moi: Live From Trona

posted August 17, 2016 #

I'm a casual fan of Toro Y Moi. I always enjoy what I hear from him but haven't ever been enamored with an album in such a way that I play it relentlessly. Like I said, casual.

However, when I saw that he was releasing the concert film Live from Trona, I was intrigued. He took his band out to the desert, setup a circular stage and a rotating camera crew... then played a full show to no one. If you're thinking this evokes Pink Floyd's Live From Pompeii - that is by design.

It's hard to stay compelling with concert footage and no audience but the environment and performances keep it interesting.
