Tomaga’s 10th Anniversary Celebration: Special Remastered Releases!
This year marks a decade of sonic innovation for the experimental duo Tomaga. To commemorate their 10th anniversary, Hands in the Dark is treating fans to something truly special—a remastered release of “Futura Grotesk” and, for the first time ever, a vinyl edition of their first casette “Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats”.
Over the past ten years, Tomaga has built a reputation for their boundary-pushing soundscapes, blending elements of jazz, experimental music, and ambient noise. Their debut album, Futura Grotesk, which originally introduced the world to their singular style, has been carefully remastered by Marta Salogni, offering a fresh auditory experience while preserving the depth and atmosphere that made it a standout.
In addition to this, the beloved Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats, previously available only on cassette formats, will finally be released on vinyl. Known for its mellow, immersive sounds, this album provides the perfect soundtrack for introspection and relaxation. The long-awaited vinyl version promises rich analog warmth, inviting both longtime fans and new listeners into its tranquil world.
Join Tomaga in celebrating their decade-long journey with these special releases, and revisit the duo’s mesmerizing sound. Keep an ear out for more anniversary surprises.
Long live our Major Tom.
