Filled with electronic synth rhythms and a sense of unwavering hope, TOMORA, a new collaboration between The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands and Norwegian artist AURORA, comes together for this five-track EP to celebrate humanity, togetherness, and the importance of believing in oneself.
Each track has a distinct sound, utilizing electronic textures, layered vocals, and unique atmospheres that capture the heart of the music. In the opening track, Celebration,” the lyrics, “we are bound to be who we are… we are bound to be celebrated,” establish the EP’s central theme of embracing individuality and celebrating oneself. “Hold On Let Go,” “What Do We Got?,” and “In A Minute,” feature an ethereal sound that blends electronic influences with hyper-pop, fusing genres to create a rich sonic texture. The final track, “Celebration-Ritual Mix,” revisits the opening track, emphasizing its divine qualities and transforming the song into a more ritualistic, almost spiritual experience.
This EP explores the lengths one can go to in pursuit of self-discovery and emphasizes the importance of feeling seen and celebrated through a unique and distinctly psychedelic musical experience.
