Aurora and Tom Rowlands Forge New Sonic Universe
2 Apr
Summary
- Tomora, a new band by Aurora and Tom Rowlands, debuts soon.
- Their sound blends techno, trip-hop, and progressive elements.
- The duo will perform at Coachella this month, with more shows planned.
The new musical collaboration, Tomora, featuring Norwegian singer Aurora and The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands, is preparing for its debut live performances, including a slot at this month's Coachella festival. Their forthcoming album, 'Come Closer,' showcases a fusion of Rowlands' precise electronic production with Aurora's adventurous pop sensibilities, creating a distinctive sound that spans techno, trip-hop, and progressive music. Rowlands expressed some anxiety about their upcoming shows, contrasting with Aurora's more relaxed outlook.
The duo's creative process is described as deeply intuitive. Aurora likens their studio connection to the natural growth of plants, emphasizing a predestined synergy. Their lead single, 'Ring the Alarm,' carries a timely message of awareness, reflecting current global distress. Aurora views their Coachella performance as an opportunity for musical healing and escapism amidst global chaos. This collaboration builds upon their previous work together, including Aurora's feature on the Chemical Brothers' 'No Geography' album and Rowlands' production on Aurora's 2024 album, 'What Happened to the Heart?'.
