Denmark electronic/alt artist Thomas Bertelsen aka TOM And His Computer has dropped the video for his new single "Heart Blossom" feat. Cosette Gobat Cosette Gobat.
His new two track EP "Heart Blossom" / "Along Coastlines" is out now through Trentemøller's label In My Room. Get it here.
This new EP sees him return in fine style, with two achingly beautiful pieces of music, displaying a slightly different musical style
"After taking a - in my standards - long break from making new music, I felt I needed to try something different from what I usually do." TOM explains. "The last two years have been a rollercoaster ride for most people and like most other people I wanted to get out of my comfort zone to explore some of my brighter sides of music making. I wouldn’t say the music style changed dramatically. I see it more as a natural progression and sonically speaking, I've always found it interesting to be somewhere on the borderline between bright and darkness."
Heart Blossom features the ethereal vocals of @Cosette Gobat . "Cosette," says TOM, "is a very versatile singer, originally from Philadelphia, now relocated to London. I got to know her when I was mixing a track for a super talented Italien guy named Gae Vinci. She was singing on that track and I instantly fell in love with her voice. She was up for a collaboration and things went on from there."
The production is, as always, sublime - with sparkling chords, touches of New Order’s early 80s melancholy and a shuffling drum track that underpins Cosette’s dreamy lyricism.
Along Coastlines is a beautiful counterpoint - synth washes,
effected guitars and fragments of melodies combine to produce a gorgeous piece of ambient expressionism.
The new single drops right in time for an extended live tour through North America where TOM And His Computer supports Trentemøller. "I’ve been fortunate to support Trentemøller on some of his previous tours and those tours have been some of the best experiences I've ever had.", says TOM. "Pure dedicated music lovers and very open minded. The people who go to these shows only go because they have a sincere interest in good quality indie music. As a support act I don’t believe you can ask for more."
