Electronic music just gained a bold new voice with the arrival of Come Closer, the debut album from TOMORA—the collaborative project between AURORA and Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers. Released via Capitol Records, the 12-track record showcases a striking fusion of emotional depth and electronic experimentation.
The album arrives at a pivotal moment for the duo, following their recent live debut at Coachella, where they introduced audiences to their immersive sonic world. Built across distant landscapes—from a fjord-lit Norwegian studio to a machine-filled space on England’s coast—the project thrives on contrast. TOMORA describes it as a meeting of opposites: softness and intensity, beauty and dissonance, all tied together by a sense of connection.
Alongside the album, the pair released “I Drink the Light,” a euphoric centerpiece inspired by the shimmering natural beauty of Norway. The track captures a sense of wonder, blending fluid electronic textures with AURORA’s ethereal vocals.
Critics are already praising Come Closer for its inventive spirit and seamless collaboration. With shimmering highs and pulsing rhythms, TOMORA has crafted a debut that feels both expansive and intimate—an artistic statement that invites listeners to step into a world uniquely their own.
