The gorgeous new Thoma release with James Waterman "Keys, Doors" showcases a joyous, quirky side from their upcoming album Leaving Cycles, via Stereofox.

The L.A.-based duo Thoma has always been known for a sound that feels like a vibrant global expedition. This is exactly what we're welcome to on "Keys, Doors," albeit with a bit more of a playful aesthetic, thanks to the compelling, wonky synth work adorned across the track. This is paired with James Waterman's Indonesian gamelan section, which carries the melodic progression into an enjoyable, lighthearted vibe. This, paired with the bass, culminates in a groovy listening experience that practically insists on a gentle, rhythmic sway.

You're welcome to stream here if you resonated with this.
