Following on the announcement of their fourth studio album Temps De Flors due on 6 September 2024, Berlin/Bali/Amsterdam-via-Byron band Tora have today returned with new single ‘Let Down’ – another taster of what’s to come from their highly anticipated new record.
Tora describe their new single ‘Let Down’ as “a deeply emotional song” – the moody ballad offers thoughtful verses and a heartfelt chorus delivered via rich vocal harmonies, blended together to create a super organic and engaging soundscape. “‘Let Down’ is about how everything that we have has been given to us by our ancestors, so we should be grateful for all the blood sweat and tears that lead to our existence and the incredible societies we live in” the band explain of the new single. Originally a stripped back song, once the band got into the studio in Catalonia the song really came together through layering up harmonies, piano, drums, bass, synths and more to get it to where it is today.
To celebrate the announcement of their new album, Tora also announced their Temps De Flors Album World Tour, revealing a stacked run of live shows across Europe, America, and Australia over October, November and December this year. In Australia, the homegrown Byron Bay band will take their magical live show to Melbourne’s 170 Russell, Sydney’s Liberty Hall and will wrap up their whole world tour at The Triffid in Brisbane.
“We took our time to reimagine our live show, with a whole new set combining songs from all 3 of our old albums plus the new album. Bringing listeners on an emotional journey, with some of our slow jams, singalongs, and a whole bunch of dance bangers, one things for sure we’ve packed some thick bass in our suitcase. Really looking forward to bringing this new music to the world” Tora say of the upcoming live shows. With additional supports to be announced soon, Tora are super excited to announce that they will be bringing with them two very special guests for the American shows – Montreal duo Mayfly and fellow Australian artist Milan Ring.
