History
Rowlands first saw Aurora perform in 2016 at Glastonbury, in which he was impressed and the two began to collaborate on each other's work, with Rowlands contributing production to Aurora's fifth studio album What Happened to the Heart?, while Aurora had featured as a guest vocalist on No Geography.[1][2] Tomora was created out of studio sessions between Rolands and Aurora. Early Tomora material remained hidden in the Chemical Brothers DJ sets prior to the band's announcement in mid-2025, including "Ring the Alarm" and "Somewhere Else".[3] Beginning in late 2025, the name "Tomora" appeared on festival lineups including Øyafestivalen, NOS Alive, Colours of Ostrava and Coachella, leading to fan and press speculation regarding their identities.[4]
On 4 December 2025, the group was officially announced along with their first single "Ring the Alarm", with its B-side "The Thing". These singles would aid to their debut album Come Closer.[5][6]
Come Closer
Following the announcement of the album, the group released several other singles including "Come Closer", "Somewhere Else" and "I Drink the Light".[5] Their debut album, Come Closer, was released on 17 April 2026.[7] Physical formats of the album were released on LP and CD.[8] All of their singles video-shoots were completed by Adam Smith.
On 16 April 2026, the duo announced their first tour across North America, Europe, and Asia.[9]
