TOMORA

This seems very odd to me. Why kill the hype? Unless it straight up isn't happening, wouldn't you want fans to get excited about more new music?

To slowly release information and build momentum for the album. It's all about marketing, as shown by everything TOMORA has done so far.

I actually thought the opening noise was from the Life of Galileo soundtrack. And maybe it is because it isn't from Hania Rani's Sentimental Value.

Only one track, the one you linked, out of the 10 from the Sentimental Value original soundtrack has been released. The full album releases on January 30. The one in the intro is almost certainly just one of the unreleased songs.

Decently big Hania Rani fan and I can almost guarantee that intro sound is not from her. She works with synths plenty but it's always rather neo-classical. Maybe I'll eat my words and she's trying something new with the soundtrack but I'd be shocked.

On deleting references to the album - wouldn't be surprised if the album is delayed or just not quite set in stone. Some early press releases might have gone out with a date and name that now need to be retracted since the album won't arrive like that (or on the date stated) but some publications didn't get the memo. Marketing and PR is a pain. If it's an intentional bid to get word of mouth or discussion going by letting the album announcement be nothing but deleted rumors so far, it's a little awkward and uncoordinated compared to the rest of what they're doing.


This whole project still feels so good, hearing Tom cut loose. The Thing makes so much sense, it's like a missing link in the chain of Chemical Brothers work, like of course a song like that finally exists. It could have come out anytime between 95 and now, but just didn't for any number of reasons. I'm reminded of Underworld talking about needing to not be Underworld for a while in the run up to Barbara Barbara, to not write music in a style that fit the expectations of UW in order to love the process and create again. There's definitely expectations for what a Chems album is these days. Same probably goes for Aurora and her own hype cycle. But Tomora can be anything. Good on em.

Love them casually revealing that the No Geography riff started as a demo with Aurora.
