Tomorrow Comes is a new direction for me, having previously come from ambient and more downtempo previous works. I really wanted to embrace a more optimistic, upbeat sound both sonically and thematically. The release is really a culmination of lots of elements I love from the textures and vocal chops of Four Tet, the sampling inspired by Gold Panda, house and UKG drums and synth melodies reminiscent of Tycho. The title, Tomorrow Comes, is more of a reminder to myself as a statement of perseverance and optimism.

UK Electronic producer Dokkodo Sounds (Thomas Trueman) returns with Tomorrow Comes, a vibrant and forward-thinking release that marks a bold evolution in his sonic identity.

Blending intricate sampling, textured vocal chops, and dynamic electronic rhythms, Tomorrow Comes draws from a rich palette of influences while carving out a distinctly personal sound – one rooted in optimism, movement, and creative growth.
