There's nothing better than being in the dark on a body of work from one of your favourite artists. (Everyone loves surprises, right?) Well, blindsided or not, we've Australian act Tora's brand-new seven-track EP, Eat The Sun, to share today, and it's been made available for full streaming on SoundCloud without any warning. Based on everything Tora's released up to this point, there's no question there's lofty expectations surrounding their music. Their reputation for this work has been building over the past year with flawless track after flawless track released, so us reporting to you today that this new EP is great should come as no surprise. It's not often you come across an album or EP from a band and not have a single bad track, but with Eat The Sun, that's what you get. We always hear about the album format taking a backseat to releasing a steady succession of singles, but with this seven-track body of work, we have something that goes against the grain in that regard. From candle-lit R&B jams, to soothing, electronically laced ballads, it's going to be hard to pick a favourite, so do yourself a favour and sit down, relax, and take your time with this album, because it's worth all of your attention. Purchase the EP on Bandcamp.
