    While the record shares DNA with a Chemical Brothers album, it is not a Chemical Brothers album featuring Aurora. Tomora’s LP exists in its own world with a clear sense of identity forged from their distinctive musical journeys.

    It feels as if Tomora’s true potential will truly reveal itself on future records after finding their energy as a live act. Still for now, ‘Come Closer’ is a debut worth dancing about: exceptional, beautiful and shit tonnes of fun.

    If Come Closer occasionally strays into the arena of techno-hippy (admittedly a compliment on the siren-squall of Ring The Alarm), the duo provide enough incentives to keep you there quite happily for a while. [Jun 2026, p.90]

    Tomora comes off as a good-natured side quest, freely venturing into unexpected territory and maintaining an adventurous spirit.
  5. 40
    Come Closer is a hostage to 90s Euro-Club-isms and torn in half by the lesser devices of two highly talented individuals, a near-first in music where a collab brings out the worst in each participant.
