Toso Toso is a band reimagining the landscape of electronic and improvised music. Working collaboratively, the quartet blurs the lines between acoustic and computerized textures, creating a sonic concoction that can have them playing a catchy melodic hook one moment, and a free improvised section the next. As a result, the group yields a youthful energy that encapsulates the experience of living in a digital, post-pandemic world. They’re currently signed to Leaving Records, with their debut record set to drop in the Spring of 2025.
