The new single by the Trust The Doc Media managed UK-Indian Synth-Dream-Pop trio [The] Music Of Sound is being released by Monochrome Motif Records on Friday 20th February 2026. Tyche (pronounced Ty-Kee) is named after the Greek Goddess of Chance and Uncertainty. Singer Sherin explains that this is a metaphor for how things are right now. ‘The song deals with the stress of uncertainty and was written at a time when close friends were going through terrible emotional turmoil’. The track has already been enjoying daily rotation on Michelle Ward‘s Eat My Brunch show on Phoenix FM and has had its first plays on Del Owusu‘s Songbird Sessions show and our Trust The Doc Radio show, both on Exile FM.

UK-Indian Synth Dream Pop trio [The] Music Of Sound cap an amazing year with Cold Weather Man about to pass 40,000 streams. The band has amassed over 130,000 this year. Lead singer Sherin says: ‘We are super excited at how all our singles still have so much momentum. It has been an amazing 12 months and we have two new singles mastered and ready for release by our lovely label Monochrome Motif Records in the new year’. The next single is Tyche, due for release on 20th February and another tour is planned for June.

[The] Music Of Sound continue their amazing 2025 with a short summer tour taking in Redhill, Hemel Hempstead, London, Woking and Brighton (with the possibility of additional dates). Singer Sherin says: ‘We are stoked to be heading out on tour to such exciting venues, most for the first time, and with stellar support acts every night’. The band’s new single Never Let It Die, described by Sherin as ‘our radiant riposte to all the racists and hatemongers’, is out now on Monochrome Motif Records, available to download from Bandcamp and due onto streaming channels from next week. The label has also created a limited edition UK Roadtrip EP that can only be purchased at the live shows (or by being a subscriber). It contains the last 4 singles and a remix due out in the Autumn. Details of the tour and tickets can be found here.

The transformational impact of South Indian singer Sherin joining The Music Of Sound has once again been reinforced by the performance of the band’s previous single Cold Weather Man. Having already amassed 18.7K streams, it was picked up by more playlists last week and it has now passed 25.3K streams

This comes just as the new single Love Me has once again been selected for the prestigious Roadtrip playlist plus the Morning Chill list and will be added to one of Adrian Garcia’s playlists on 7th April. With strong support from radio and online media for the single, this is all good news for the band who are managed and promoted by Trust The Doc Media.

In the meantime, the band have announced the first four dates for their July tour and will be announcing more dates in the coming weeks.

Buoyed by the success of the single Cold Weather Man and with new single Love Me picking up airplay and reviews, Music Of Sound have announced the first four dates on their summer 2025 UK tour. The tour will kick off on Saturday 5th July at Belfry Centre, Redhill, then 7th July at the Oddfellows in Hemel Hempstead and The Libra in Camden, North London on Tuesday 8th July. A 4th date in Brighton will be confirmed shortly. According to the band’s lead singer Sherin: ‘We are currently talking to booking agents and promoters to line up dates, ideally, in Cardiff, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Leicester but there is potential for us to include a lot more venues. We are very excited as this will be the biggest tour we have been on so far’.

Look out for more news soon. We hope to be able to make an announcement in the next edition of the Trust The Doc blog on 31st March and across all the band’s social media pages.

The next edition of Trust The Doc is our 100th (centenary) and it will be a bumper issue full of features including guest articles by some of our esteemed friends from across the Independent Music Sector and a lot of additional features including a focus on 20 grassroots music acts. It will be published on 31st January 2025.

We are very happy to announce that, due to the ongoing momentum behind The Music Of Sound‘s current single #ColdWeatherMan, the band and their amazing label Monochrome Motif Records have agreed to put back the scheduled release of the next single while the extended campaign continues. Latest successes include BBC Introducing, BBC Orbit, airplay on over 80 radio shows internationally, a tonne of reviews and interviews and playlist adds including the massive Dreamwave Records’ Roadtrip Songs 2025 playlist. Singer Sherin adds ‘We are super excited that the new single is being put on ice thanks to the continuing activity around Cold Weather Man’. The Music Of Sound are planning another short UK tour in Spring 2025.

It has been a whirlwind few months for The Music Of Sound. The release of Sherin’s revocalising of First Light was followed by a short tour culminating in a barnstorming gig for Tony Hardy’s Fifty 3 Promotions at The Bedford in South London. In the meantie the new single You Lost Out has had generous airplay, a tonne of rave reviews, won over three SubmitHub curators and generated a lovely interview with Illustrate mag. Check out the video for You Lost Out here. And stream it here.

It includes reimaginings of the original album tracks by Minimums; The Happy Somethings; Paul F Cook, Andrew Hartshorn; Alien Alarms; Poetical Nadz; Arpraxis; Sharon Katta and Hello Midlands plus two remmixes by The Music Of Sound themselves.
