Tomode – Riviera (CD)

Following a sold out gig at Paris cult venue La Boule Noire, Tomode is now dropping their sophomore EP ‘Riviera’. Infusing their Scandinavian melancholy with a hypnotizing warmth, the duo’s new outing features their dreamy vocal harmonies suspended over sun-soaked synthesizers and supported by a vintage disco sound. ”For us, the Riviera is a place where profound natural beauty is entangled with a commercial hollowness. Enjoying a deep orange sunset on cheap plastic furniture. A light coastal breeze with a hint of chlorine. Just beneath the shiny surface flows a melancholic undercurrent that you just can’t seem to escape.” the duo explains. After the success of their debut EP ‘Synergy’ (2021) the genre-bending and catchy sound of childhood friends and Stockholm natives Viktor Westerberg & Carl Leandersson has established them as an exciting act on the Scandinavian indie scene and has landed them nominations for Newcomer and Pop/Rock of the Year by Nordic music mag Gaffa. Riviera is Tomode’s second EP, scheduled for release on April 14, 2023 via Lyon-based independent label Riptide Records.
