Manila-based indie-pop artist tome. 's debut album, "first edition god complex," reinvents the Pinoy hyperpop scene.
Tome. 's latest project embraces a more abrasive sound as he further develops her hyperpop sound and pushes the boundaries of his artistic and creative goals.
With notable influences from Rina Sawayama, Charli XCX, to ROSALIA, the 11-track album doesn't deviate from the ear-candy patterns of traditional pop. Yet, it's the experimental, hyperpop sound and production that makes it feels like a new and exciting trip.
As fearless as his sound, first edition god complex is also tome. 's most vulnerable album to date. The album talks about his upbringing, having to deal with people with god complexes and anger issues, tome. decided to uncover different motivations for anger, generational struggles (CRY4ME), self worth (joan), and confidence (NO!!). With all tracks produced, mixed, and mastered by tome., it is truly an ambitious project for an independent artist.
Spearheading everything, even to the visuals, proving tome. 's creative vision and talent is not something you encounter often.
