Eight new luminous tracks harvested from NZ artists redefining themselves in the pandemic.

Anxious artists in quarantine experiencing a powerful need for new motivation. Trapped in their own bubbles, opportunities to collaborate and create meaningful music are suddenly way more precious than they were in the past. And so, the family of It’s Already Tomorrow is born.

The fruits of a long-distance lockdown collaboration from New Zealand producers and guest performers living in Germany, Greece, Serbia, and home in Aotearoa New Zealand. From introspective ambient tracks to hybrid folk-electronica to dystopian synth-rock, this album refuses easy categorisation. But one thing across all the emotional intensity is a strong placement in the immediate historic moment. This music is from right now by artists profoundly living and feeling the convulsions in the world around them. The future’s here, now what?

“Powerful, strange, beautiful utterances from the here and now, all grown from the same musical seeds.”
