Tourist is releasing his new single ‘Siren’. The producer and musician’s pulsing programming and downtempo, ambient sounds are imbued with a serenity that’s easy to get lost in. On ‘Siren’, Tourist skillfully leaves room for tranquil experimentation around muscular grooves and deep, rich bass tones.
“2020 was the year I didn’t see coming. On a macro scale, a global pandemic, civil unrest and a looming decision about the world’s future, and on a more personal level – losing one of my dearest friends suddenly, and the knowledge that I’ll be a father soon. Life and death, a siren often accompanies both of those moments and it felt like the right name for a track written in these times. It struck me that throughout all of this I am simply longing for human togetherness, and “Siren” is my attempt to write something that feels like an anthem for introverted times.”‘Siren’ is the second new release from Tourist in 2020 following ‘Last’, his collaboration with Domino signee The Range. The UK-based Grammy winning producer and composer had a busy 2019 which saw him release two albums, ‘Everyday’ and ‘Wild’. Earlier this year, Tourist released his ‘Wild (Reworks)’ EP, featuring edits by Anthony Naples, Mary Lattimore and Meitei.

Tourist first appeared in 2012 with his self-titled debut EP and has since gone on to release three full lengths, ‘U’ arrived in 2016, whilst ‘Everyday’ and ‘Wild’ were both released in an action packed 2019. He has been an active remixer himself, working with artists like Christine & The Queens, Wolf Alice and Chvrches. His writing credits include a Grammy for co-writing the Sam Smith smash hit ‘Stay With Me’.
