Tom Misch is BACK! 'Sisters With Me' Out Now + 'Full Circle' Album out on 27th March

Tom Misch’s long-awaited sophomore album Full Circle finds the London-based artist, songwriter, and producer at his most personal and honest. The new album explores the stories and moments that have shaped him over the last eight years: family, friendships, nature, and celebrates the work of finding hisway back to himself. Made during time spent between London, Cornwall, Portugal, and Nashville, FullCircle will be out 27th March via Beyond The Groove / AWAL Recordings, and was born from a period of necessary pause which gave Tom the space to rebuild his relationship with music.

Since first emerging in 2012 through his early SoundCloud releases, Tom Misch’s music has helped define a generation of bedroom producers and artists. Across two Beat Tapes and his critically acclaimed debut Geography, which charted at #8 and is now BPI certified Gold, Tom has established himself as asingular British voice in music. Geography’s success also led to sold-out shows worldwide, including London’s Brixton Academy, while his instinctive approach to collaboration has remained central, from EPs with long-time creative partner Loyle Carner, to the Ivor Novello–nominated What Kinda Music with Yussef Dayes which entered the UK Official Charts at #4.

More recently, his Supershy alter ego has offered another outlet for exploration, extending his curiosity into club-focused territory. However, behind the scenes of this success, Tom was facing periods of extreme anxiety that forced him to slow down, step away and turn inward. Tom sought reconnection through surfing, nature and time away from the studio - experiences that helped shape the emotional language of Full Circle. When he returned to making music, it was without pressure or expectation, working with a close circle of friends and new collaborators, and focusing on songs that tell the truth. Across Full Circle, Tom has deliberately moved away from production-led music-making, stepping out of Logic Pro to focus on classic song writing that works when played on piano or guitar, or expanded with a full band. That shift toward songcraft, rather than studio technique, became the defining starting point for the album. Tom worked closely with artist and songwriter Matt Maltese, who co-wrote a number of songs on the record, alongside Ian Fitchuk, who developed much of the material in Nashville, and Adam Jaffrey, a key collaborator during the album’s earliest stages.

Tom used a U47 micraphone throughout, allowing his vocals to be forward and full body. While much of the album was run to tape with a clear intention to achieve specific sounds inspired by the warmth and clarity of ’70s hi-fi records. Sonically and creatively, the project draws from the songwriting and textures of artists like Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, John Martyn, and John Taylor balancing classic fidelity with an intimate, understated feel. There was also a commitment throughout to capturing live takes, minimising comping, and preserving the raw spontaneity of performance. Quiet, double-tracked vocals and low-fi touches nod to J.J. Cale’s subtle approach, all in service of something classic and alive in the moment.

Accompanying the announcement of Full Circle is new single “Sisters With Me”, a song that emerged during a rare period when Tom was living with his sisters, in their family home for the first time as adults.It was a time that felt both challenging and unexpectedly beautiful. Tom reflects,

“it wasn’t my intention to write anything like that but it was probably a bit of subconscious creativity with everything that was going on.”

“Sisters With Me” is carried by a probing guitar line which lets space shape the performance. The release is marked by the debut music video from photographer and filmmaker Juliet Klottrup, whose work documenting female and non-binary skateboarders in the North of England (Skate Like a Lass) earned her a Sony Future Filmmaker award. For the “Sisters With Me” video, Juliet documents relationships

between sisters and their siblings in their most honest form. Through a series of short vignettes, captured with a raw and unprocessed eye, the film offers an intimate glimpse into the stories and connections within families.

Ahead of the announcement of Full Circle, Tom had already begun to set the tone for this new era through standalone singles “Old Man” and “Red Moon.” “Old Man” is built around guitar and voice, exploring his relationship with family and the existential weight of getting older, themes echoed throughout Full Circle. “Red Moon,” by contrast, leans into a deeper groove, drawing on the warmth and physicality of 60s and 70s classic recordings - a time in music which has hugely influenced the feel of Full Circle. While Full Circle contends with some of quieter moments of the last four years, it remains optimistic and effortlessly listenable, anchored by unadorned vocals and a warm, analogue sound. And the beauty of Full Circle 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 ongoing evolution, honouring his past while pointing toward new directions in an ever-unfolding creative story. Shortly after the release of Full Circle, Tom will be playing two headline shows at London’s KOKO. Fans who pre-order the album today will have early access to the pre-sale for these shows. Regular pre-sale tickets will be available from Tuesday 3rd February 10AM GMT and will go on general sale at 10AM, GMT 4th February.
