TOMORA has arrived, and the debut album ‘Come Closer’ is everything the mystery surrounding this project promised. Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers and Norwegian artist AURORA have made something genuinely singular here, twelve tracks that pull from wigged-out 1960s psychedelia and push toward sounds that feel built for decades that haven’t happened yet. The title track video is out now, and it delivers.
The duo didn’t exactly announce themselves quietly. TOMORA’s name appeared on the Coachella 2026 lineup with zero context, triggering immediate speculation. Then came “Ring The Alarm” in December, and the conversation shifted fast. SPIN, Brooklyn Vegan, and Stereogum all took notice, with Stereogum calling it “a high-octane build… urgent vocal swirls… seesawing between euphoria and panic.” DJ Mag flagged its “intense bass and beat oscillations capped with an infectious vocal hook.”
The album is out now via Capitol Records, available digitally and physically on CD, standard black vinyl, and a limited-edition colour vinyl LP. The duo describe ‘Come Closer’ plainly and perfectly: “We made it without obligation or expectation, just a joy in creation. It’s the sound where we meet, the landing zone of our musical escape pods.”
‘Come Closer’ doesn’t sound like a collaboration between two separate artists finding common ground. It sounds like a duo that locked into something real and chased it as far as it would go. The range across these twelve tracks is remarkable, from dancefloor-ready momentum to tender, beautifully constructed downtempo moments like “The Thing,” which surfaced early on the limited white label vinyl release.
Dancefloors and festival fields are already paying attention. ‘Come Closer’ is out now on Capitol Records.
