French Kiwi Juice ft: Toro y Moi - A Moment Of Mystery (Official Video)

Multi-instrumentalist and production extraordinaire French Kiwi Juice (FKJ) returns today with the video for “A Moment Of Mystery”. The stylistic visual accompaniment features fleeting excerpts of Toro Y Moi singing and FKJ travelling through the hazy tropicalia of his secluded Philippines island homebase, a serene setting overlooking verdant valleys and misty blue mountains. 

A highlight on his recent album “V I N C E N T”, “A Moment Of Mystery” is a gentle electronic ode to a long-term love connection, a widescreen and celestial jam featuring lush atmospheric strings, Toro Y Moi’s languid vocals and spacy, slow-moving synths. Toro Y Moi is the critically acclaimed artist behind albums including What For? and the seminal Causers Of This, the latter which was pivotal in spearheading the chillwave movement of the 2010s.

FKJ delves deeper into the collaboration with Toro Y Moi behind “A Moment Of Mystery”: “I met with Chaz and Tony who plays keys in Toro Y Moi for the first time at this session. The energy was real smooth and we got in the zone quickly. We couldn’t stop playing. Even if sometimes we’d try to take a break to write and structure something we would end up getting distracted by all these toys in the studio and start jamming again for another hour or two. At the end of the session we had all these demos. I took them back home and played with them. The next time I came to San Francisco, Chaz and I met again and chose a couple of them to finish, including A Moment Of Mystery which made it to this album.”
