Tomar And The FCs - Soul Searching (2025) Hi-Res

Soul Searching is the third full length album to be released from Austin Soul Band Tomar and the FCs. During the pandemic, the band’s guitarist Andy Tenberg built his own studio - Summervale Sound Recording - where the magic of Soul Searching was both recorded and mixed, bringing the album to life. The band began crafting the tunes for this album in 2021, dedicating the next four years to meticulously honing every note and lyric in the studio. Steeped in the soulful sounds of the late ’60s and early ’70s, this music not only draws from the band’s deep roots but also captures the emotional highs and lows of the past decade, reflecting the collective struggles and resilience that have shaped our shared experience.

Put on your shiniest dancing shoes, because Austin-based rhythm & blues outfit Tomar And The FCs have recently released their third full-length album. It’s called Soul Searching and they make this mission come true, both literally and figuratively. These musicians have mastered the craft of heartfelt soul and showy funk, captured in the sound of the late 60s and early 70s, down to the last detail. Magnificent vocals and an inspired rhythm section, switching between emotional ballads and hip-shaking grooves, touch both the gut and the heart.
