Feature: Tora – Temps De Flors
Willingness to experiment and incorporate diverse musical elements defines Tora.
Their latest release Temps De Flors is a musical journey that travels through a broad sonic spectrum throughout the record – in parts leaning deeper into a more dance world and exploring a more daring, electronic and futuristic side of
Tora’s sound, balanced with other songs that are more stripped back and very intimate, showing the band’s musicality with diversity and the confidence to experiment.
Creating music that paints a vivid auditory canvas, inviting listeners on a journey through atmospheric landscapes of sound filled with peaks and valleys.heir music paints a vivid auditory canvas, inviting listeners on a journey through atmospheric landscapes of sound filled with peaks and valleys.
The title ‘Temps De Flors’ is Catalonian for ‘Time Of The Flowers’, inspired by the recording process which took place in the northeast of Catalonia during the spring. “Temps De Flors delivers 13 songs that all are quite different to one another, yet belong together as one larger story” Tora say of the forthcoming record. “The ongoing theme throughout the album is a feeling of moving from darkness into light, turning difficult times into prosperous times, a blossoming of spring in all senses, revelations, revolutions, innovations leading to abundance.”
On Temps De Flors, Tora helps us see that the time of the flowers is upon us.
The album focus track ‘Fear Becomes A Friend’ is a nostalgic reflection of Tora’s singer Jo’s own experiences with time. It touches on dreams, childhood, family and freedom all tied by the theme of time and our often fearful perception of it. “The title Fear Becomes a friend is a nod to the slow acceptance that moving ceaselessly forward in life is a beautiful thing and should not feared” Jo explains. “‘Fear Becomes A Friend’ flirts between the lines a of dreamy verse and a driven chorus. Both capture the essence of what inspired the track, warm weather, dreamy nights, long days in the European summer, delirium. Lyrically it sits heavily on themes of nostalgia, childhood, dreams, and freedom”.
