After months of speculation, the mystery behind TOMORA has finally been revealed. The new duo—formed by The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands and visionary pop artist AURORA—have officially launched their collaborative project with the explosive debut single and video, “RING THE ALARM,” out now via Capitol Records.
Festival-goers had been buzzing since TOMORA’s name appeared on the 2025 lineups for Coachella, NOS Alive, Colours of Ostrava, Øya, and Down The Rabbit Hole. Today, the veil lifts: TOMORA is TOM and ORA united, a merging of creative worlds that feels both unexpected and inevitable.
“RING THE ALARM,” premiered by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, is a frenetic, interstellar surge of analog grit and digital electricity—an ecstatic collision reminiscent of Silver Apples’ “Oscillations,” reborn for the 21st century. The track opens with a piercing digital signal, spiraling into a pounding bass and a luminous three-word vocal hook that becomes less a warning and more an irresistible call to action.
“We wanted TOMORA to be a band, not two individuals,” the duo explains. “It’s our musical feeling come to life.”
Their chemistry has been brewing for years—AURORA appeared on The Chemical Brothers’ GRAMMY-winning No Geography, and Rowlands contributed production to her 2024 album What Happened To The Heart?. Now, that shared energy fully ignites in TOMORA.
More from the duo is on the horizon.
