American producer Chazwick Bradley Bundwick, most commonly known by his stage name Toro y Moi, has officially announced an album to be released this year. What For? Will be released April 7 via Carpark Records. The album’s first single “Empty Nesters” is available for streaming on SoundCloud.

Entirely recorded and produced in Bundwick’s home studio in Berkeley, CA, What For? is inspired by the likes of Big Star, Talking Heads and Todd Rundgren.

“I’ve done electronic R&B and more traditional recorded type R&B stuff. I just wanted to see what else was out there,” Bundick says of the record in a press release. “It’s all coming from the same mindset and point of creativity. It’s just me trying to take what I already have, and then taking it further.”
