Tom Smith makes his solo debut with There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn’t There In The Light, a record that strips back the grand scale of his work with Editors and Smith & Burrows to reveal something more personal. Seeking to reconnect with the raw, acoustic roots of his songwriting, Smith worked with producer Iain Archer to shape songs grounded in emotional honesty, warmth, and reflection. Opening with Deep Dive, the album sets a tone of gentle hope against loneliness, moving between sparse arrangements and moments of cinematic lift. Though the album began as a solitary pursuit, its collaborative spirit with Archer brings depth and texture, resulting in a work that, while tinged with melancholy, ultimately resonates with hope and renewal.
