Tom has recently announced his most extensive European Tour and North American tours to date with tickets on sale now, and a number of shows already sold out!
The artwork for ‘Geography’ was created by Tom’s mother Carol who has consistently contributed to visuals for his previous releases. The silhouettes of Tom facing himself represent challenging himself to create a new landscape in his different moods and stages of creativity. Woven in with ideas of contour lines and illusion we see one thing, then another, in the same way that music has its own multi layered language.
This release sees Tom exploring his songwriting and his own vocals, singing on most of the tracks plus exciting features still to be announced, we get our first preview with the tender vocals featured on ‘Movie’. ‘Geography’ is an exploration of a musical landscape, named after a passion of Tom’s which was never pursued, it dances between genres including Disco, Soul, Hip-Hop and Jazz, a true testament to Tom’s diverse sound and genre fluidity.
