Come Closer (stylised in all caps) is the debut studio album by electronic music supergroup Tomora, set for release on 17 April 2026 through Fontana and Capitol Records. [1] [2] The album marks the first full-length collaboration between English producer Tom Rowlands and Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora.
Come Closer developed from studio sessions that were not initially intended to result in a full-length release. Rowlands said the pair began making music "without any idea that it would lead to anything or that we were even making an album", adding that he "cherished this moment of freedom, creativity and making something great". [3]
The sessions followed previous collaborations between the pair, including Aurora's contributions to The Chemical Brothers' album No Geography and Rowlands' production work on Aurora's album What Happened to the Heart? . [4]
The album's visual direction was developed alongside the music with director Adam Smith, a long-time collaborator of Rowlands' work with The Chemical Brothers, involved early in the process, including during recording sessions in Norway. Smith said, "Tom and Aurora started playing me stuff quite early on", and described the work as "very collaborative between the three of us". [5]
Rowlands described the album as exploring themes of connection, stating that it is "about the search for some connection". [3] Aurora also discussed the collaboration as reflecting a broader creative freedom to pursue new directions, framing the project as a reminder that "we are free" and "allowed to change direction". [5]
Early material from Come Closer was previewed in live DJ sets prior to the album's announcement. The tracks "Ring The Alarm" and "Somewhere Else" were first played during DJ performances by The Chemical Brothers and Tom Rowlands in mid-2025, months before Tomora was formally revealed. [6]
On 4 December 2025, the group released "Ring The Alarm" as the lead single, accompanied by the B-side "The Thing", which appeared on a limited-edition vinyl release. [7] [8] The album was announced on 4 February 2026 alongside the release of the title track. [3] On 3 March 2026, "Somewhere Else" was released as the third single. [9]
Music videos directed by Adam Smith were released for each of the album's singles. [10]
The group announced a tour in support of the album, with dates across Europe, North America and Asia. [11]
All tracks are written by Tom Rowlands and Aurora Aksnes, with additional writers noted.
