The new release from the duo – made up of Norwegian art-pop phenomenon Aurora and The Chemical Brothers legend Tom Rowland – comes following them dropping their debut album ‘ Come Closer ‘ earlier this year.

Set to feature five tracks, the new EP will be released via Capitol Records digitally on October 16, and physically on November 27. Visit here to pre-order.

The first taster of the EP is out now, in the form of the title track – a propulsive, euphoric single that blends AURORA’s signature, ethereal vocals with a driving electronic pulse.

Another version of the song will feature on the EP, as will the previously released 10-minute version of ‘In A Minute’, an expanded take on the original track from the debut album.

“Celebration is a privilege,” the duo shared. “Celebration is a person. Celebration is a funeral and celebration is a ritual. It’s human nature. And it’s a human need. We should all be celebrated, as real human beings.”

Check out the tracklist and artwork below, and the new single above.

The Tomora ‘Celebration’ EP tracklist is:

1. ‘Celebration’

2. ‘Hold On Let Go’

3. ‘What Do We Got?’

4. ‘IN A MINUTE (Live From The Studio Version)’

5. ‘Celebration – Ritual Mix’

Speaking to NME about what to expect from their live shows , AURORA shared: “We don’t want any structure to be left in a building after we’ve been there. We’re going to move around a lot, and like both our shows, it’s going to be very dynamic.”

“I feel like I can experience TOMORA in the same way as anyone out there can; both from the inside and out. There’s something about this album that is easier to listen to without judgment. It’s very enjoyable,” she added.
