about

Thoom’s 9-track debut album, Pork, is a reflection on four tumultuous years of transition and rediscovery, and was written across Beirut, Chicago and Berlin, three cities representing her ancestral home, the site of her musical awakening, and a new hope for her future.

In keeping with the constant shapeshifting of the Thoom project, Pork is a departure from her previous releases, replacing breakneck rhythms with abstract electronics, murky atmospheres and a drive towards introspection.

While paranoia and rage are never far beneath the surface, the album is shot through with unexpected shafts of light, bare moments of radical tenderness made all the more striking for the jagged edges all around. For the first time, Thoom prioritises melody, songwriting and the honesty of her own supple voice over rage and electronic noise.
