"[16], In an interview with website At the Sinema, he suggested that he had moved beyond the chillwave genre: "All that stuff is really good music, like Ernest Green (Washed Out) and Neon Indian. We set him up with colored pencils and a printout of the simplified, peace sign-like artwork he's been using for his new album, Outer Peace.

You just introduced yourself as Chaz Bear. One of the lines is: “Add an accent to your sound, now I don't know who I am.” We all just speak in whatever accents we choose and I feel like I just wanted to say something about that. “I definitely see all of the different tangents of chillwave now,” he says in mid-December, while at the Complex office in New York City.

I don't relate to the [chillwave] genre too much.

Bundick announced on June 9, 2017, that he had officially changed his name from Chazwick Bundick to Chaz Bear. In addition to talking about some of his favorite doodles, Toro spoke with Complex about the key difference between his new album and his previous project, Boo Boo, his name change, and how he learned to speak up for himself. It plays into the playlist culture a little bit. I just wanted to show another side of myself. Especially as a brown guy, it's kinda like you get immediately looped in with stuff and I feel like it's kinda cool to just keep pushing the boundary a little bit. Toro had at least 1 relationship in the past. Boo Boo and Outer Peace are very different. Bundick became a vegetarian in 2012, two days after his 26th birthday. Honestly. In your opinion, what's the key difference between inner and outer peace? The album was put out on Company Record Label, a record company of Bundick's own creation.

They're like those African dingo dogs that are in statues and stuff. You mentioned the phrase “game tape.” Does that mean that you watch your own performances? [29], In his home studio, Bundick utilizes a Roland JX-3P, Moog Voyager, Fender Rhodes, and various soft synths. I feel like your videos are always on some other shit. It's like, yeah: We're all trying to obtain a lifestyle and we're all sort of trying to just go about it in a respectful way. That's not very professional to stay all day, but I don't know. Bundick refers to the album's subject matter as "personal," calling it a "break-up album. [27], On August 28, 2015, Toro y Moi released Samantha, a surprise free mixtape featuring 20 electronic/hip hop influenced songs recorded in Berkeley, California between February 2012 and August 2015.
