"Tearing Me Up" comes off Days Gone By, the first full-length from Canadian electronic duo Bob Moses, which Domino released on September 18, 2015. Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance wrote and produced it themselves, then handed the mix to Mark "Spike" Stent.
The pair were high school friends who reconnected in New York City in 2011 and started the project there, putting out two EPs on Scissor and Thread as a stepping stone before Domino signed them and asked for an album. They cut it in Brooklyn, in an old candlestick factory since turned into studios, and Howie summed up its mood as melancholy with a streak of hope. Reviews came in warm, and the Junos shortlisted it for Electronic Album of the Year.
