With a month to go until the release of their second album Can’t Buy The Moodon 9 August, today Tora reveal the next taste in single ‘Similar‘. The song comes with a textured video starring close friend, artist/model and creative entrepreneur Mimi Elashiry.
‘Similar’ is a treasure of hauntingly smooth vocals and a distinctive vinyl sounds whilst the visuals continue the bands dedication to beautifully shot scenes which convey visually their world full of lush harmonies and poignant lyrics.
Says the band of the track, “’Similar’ is a song about the push and pull of a long-distance relationship. The verses reflect the uplifting feeling of quality time spent together, while the chorus reveals the lethargy of being on opposite ends of the world and constantly relying on communication through text. In the end though, gratitude and admiration are the triumphant feelings in the song.”
The band are currently in Europe on tour, with their recent sold out London show giving the overseas audiences a sneak preview of the forthcoming album.
13-track Can’t Buy The Mood album features ‘Similar’ as well as recently released singles ‘Paramount‘, ‘Can’t Buy The Mood‘, ‘Morphine‘, ‘Tiger‘ and ‘Deviate‘. The album will be followed by headline shows down the East Coast in September and October.
Since release in 2017, tracks from their much-lauded debut album Take A Rest have received support from respected members of the international music community. Following a coveted album packet spot on triple j and high rotation for single ‘Another Case’, both Sir Elton John (Beats 1) and Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1) spun tracks on their radio programs and they’ve now clocked nearly 100 million streams globally – a massive achievement. Tora toured nationally and around the UK/Europe with over 40 album tour shows and sold out sets in Melbourne, Paris and London. They supported Oh Wonder nationally and even found an adoring fan in Resident Evil and Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich. All of this on top of previous spots at Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass, Reeperbahn (DE), The Great Escape (UK), Best Kept Secret (NL) and over 70 more festival appearances across the globe. It’s been a size-able couple of years for these four Byron Bay locals.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
