toso toso

with isabel crespo pardo on vocal everything, Kabir Adhiya-Kumar playing drums & percussion, Rahul Carlberg on keyboards/synth, and Celia Hill on guitar & electronic-ing, this newly blooming band of improvisers and maze-like song constructers reveals itself with a track that seems to emerge from the depths of a nighttime forest walk.

toso toso is a New York-based avant-pop collective whose sound blends free improvisation with meticulous structure, creating emotionally charged songs. Formed in 2020, the group—comprised of Kabir Adhiya-Kumar, Rahul Carlberg, Celia Hill, and isabel crespo pardo—draws from a shared background in improvisation to shape their collaborative process, sculpting raw ideas into bold, fractured compositions. Their self-titled debut, out November 7th, 2025 via Leaving Records, traverses extremes of intensity and stillness across seven shape-shifting tracks. With soaring vocals, warped textures, and explosive sonic juxtapositions, toso toso crafts a deeply immersive soundworld where emotional intimacy meets experimental edge.
