There’s a classic line: ‘If you see the Buddha, kill the Buddha.’ This album is my attempt to kill the Buddha.” For Tōth, that might mean ending shows with audience-wide singalongs of “Open your heart to the universe!” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart irony, part catharsis. “It’s tongue-in-cheek but joyous,” he explains. “My default is so negative and self-loathing. I’m poking fun at the same things I need to survive.” That duality – humor and holiness, irony and sincerity – runs through the album, which features a duet with Kimbra and was co-produced by Grammy-nominated artist Caroline Rose. It’s also the first Tōth album involving another producer. “I’ve never liked having teachers or sponsors, but I need them to get out of my own way. Caroline wouldn’t let me hide behind abstraction; they had practices to help me connect with the ‘voice’ in the title.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EggHunt Records\/Clandestine","offers":[{"title":"LP - Galaxy Blue","offer_id":55898296713547,"sku":"R0673-9293","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Melted Cream","offer_id":56231711539531,"sku":"R0673-5915","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375088504.jpg?v=1763023663"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/toth-1.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
