Nosaj Thing and Toro y Moi link up on new track “Condition”

Three weeks away from the release of his next LP, Continua, Nosaj Thing has shared its fourth single. “Condition” features Chaz Bear (Toro y Moi) on vocals and piano, Amir Yaghmai on viola, and Mike Andrews on synth, as well as additional production from Sunny Levine. It follows the album’s August lead single “Blue Hour” feat. Julianna Barwick, and two September tracks — “We Are (우리는)” feat. HYUKOH and “Look Both Ways” feat. Pink Siifu — on the record’s release cycle.

The new song starts in slow contemplation but quickly moves towards a more open, cosmic aesthetic that’s helped along by a colossal synth. “Runnin’ towards the light, it’s tunnel vision / Got me losin’ sight, I’m on a mission,” Bear sings, his voice blending easily into the buzzing instrumental. “Had you by my side, and now you’re missin’ / Lost my appetite, that’s my condition.”

Back in 2018, Bear remixed Nosaj Thing’s “U G” under the guise of his electro side project, Les Sins.
