Tom Misch Finds Himself After Quitting Fame
13 Feb
Summary
- Musician Tom Misch stepped away from touring due to mental health struggles.
- He found solace in surfing, travel, and diverse jobs for three years.
- His new album, 'Full Circle,' explores vulnerability and identity.
In July 2022, Tom Misch abruptly canceled his Australian tour dates, citing a decline in his mental health and a loss of enjoyment in touring.
He returned to London, ceased social media activity, and put his guitar down, embarking on a three-year hiatus. This period of introspection led to his most vulnerable work, the album 'Full Circle.'
'Full Circle' diverges from his earlier bedroom productions, embracing a warm, full-band sound influenced by 70s singer-songwriters. Lyrically, Misch delves into personal themes like aging, family, and vulnerability.
During his time away, Misch engaged in activities such as surfing instructor courses in Cornwall and various jobs, including gardening and barista work. He also traveled, drawing inspiration for songs like 'Sisters With Me' and 'Slow Tonight.'
He has fostered new collaborations, working with artists like Ian Fitchuk and Matt Maltese, and is preparing for a tour to support 'Full Circle.' Misch is also pursuing interests outside music, like assisting with the Wildflower songwriting retreat.
