Watch Toro Y Moi's Pitch-Perfect Cover Of Unknown Mortal Orchestra's "Multi-Love"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Earlier this week during a live appearance in Buffalo, NY, Toro Y Moi turned our hazy-wavy R&B dreamscapes into reality by covering Unknown Mortal Orchestra's infectious single "Multi-Love." Yes, this really happened--the clouds opened and the sound of a thousand phaser pedals, swirling in unison, descended unto the land. We should have known this was coming; it was only a matter of time.

At the moment only crowd-shot video of the "Multi-Love" cover exists, but the quality is certainly high enough to make it all worthwhile. Toro Y Moi offer up a cover that's spot-on. If anything, it's cleaner and tighter than when UMO performs it themselves. Word of the cover has already gotten around to frontman Ruban Nielson, who on Friday tweeted "Hearing about Toro Y Moi covering Multi-Love is making me feel so happy." It makes us a little giddy as well--watch the video below.
