Tomas Barfod is back with "Things That Matter", the first single from new album Paloma

The synthpop maestro is following up the summer's Better Than I Would EP and 2014 record Love Me with a new collection featuring Adine Kjædegaard Fliid, the aforementioned Foos, Jonas Smith, Jonas H. Petersen, and regular collaborator Nina Kinert.

"One thing I like about making music is collaborating with creative or interesting people," says Barfod of the song. "When it’s good it’s almost like falling in love for a second - the energy you get from interacting with another person. Anyway I had previously working with Louise Foo when I produced her old band Gianna Factory, and that was exactly that kind of collab. So I was thrilled when when this collaboration was born, and even with Louise’s bigger sister Sharin Foo added, who I have always adored."

"Working on Paloma was a very diverse process," Barfod continues. "I worked both in my studio and on the road, mainly in LA but even in Bali and Mexico while touring. I also went through several stages in my mind in the process, from being very inspired by the '90s to being very inspired by psychedelia. I don’t know if there is any traces of all this for the listener, but personally this I where I have been. And like always (when I create music) I set my goal for one thing but end in completely other corner."
