With one foot in Scandinavian melancholy and the other on the dance floor, Tomode has created a universe where existential wistfulness meets shimmering grooves and seventies disco euphoria. The internationally acclaimed Stockholm duo now returns with ‘Honest’, the first taste of forthcoming album We Missed It While It Happened, released in February 2027. Alongside the album, childhood friends Viktor Westerberg and Carl Leandersson will return to Europe in spring 2027, touring Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France and England.

When Tomode released debut album Existential Disco in 2024, Rolling Stone France hailed it as ‘the new wave of Swedish disco’. Building on seventies disco sounds and cool Scandinavian melancholy, Viktor Westerberg and Carl Leanderson explore the difficulties of adulthood, lost friendships and life’s absurdities. Personal wistfulness is woven into pulsing rhythms and danceable disco — music that captures life’s highs and lows without losing the desire to dance.

On ‘Honest’, released on 23 October, Tomode joins Amanda Bergman in an unexpected collaboration, bringing the duo’s sound together with Bergman’s raw Scandinavian melancholy. The result is a song about the courage to be honest in a time when appearances often take centre stage, while marking a more stripped-back chapter in the duo’s musical development.

After touring Europe with Donny Bénet on his Infinite Desires tour in spring 2024, Tomode embarked on its own Existential Disco Tour in 2025 with an extravagant five-piece band. The tour reached iconic venues including Berghain in Berlin and Paradiso in Amsterdam, as well as a sold-out hometown show in Stockholm. During 2026, the duo continued its international journey with a notable appearance at Portugal’s Vodafone Paredes de Coura festival. In 2027, they continue to strengthen their position both in Sweden and abroad.
