Tom Misch | Full Circle
Tom Misch’s long-awaited sophomore album Full Circle finds the London-based artist, songwriter, and producer at his most personal and honest. Exploring the moments that have shaped him over the last eight years: family, friendships, nature, and celebrates the work of finding his way back to himself. Made during his time spent between London, Suffolk, Portugal, and Nashville with a focus on classic songwriting, honing a collection of eleven timeless songs including the previously released singles ‘Old Man’ and ‘Red Moon’.
While it contends with the struggles that Tom has faced, Full Circle remains optimistic and effortlessly listenable. Its true strength lies in the universality of its lyrics, inviting listeners to inhabit Tom’s world or trace their own path within it. Full Circle stands as both a reflection of his journey and a statement of his ongoing evolution.

Breakthrough with "Geography" and "What Kinda Music"
