Seven Lions’ Upcoming Album, Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars
Following September’s release of ‘By the Light of the Moon (feat. Kerli),’ ‘So Far Away’ offers another glimpse into Seven Lions’ evolving world. The forthcoming album, Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, draws from his melodic roots while embracing new artistic freedom. Influenced by trance and metal, the record aims to connect emotion and storytelling through massive production and personal reflection.
Speaking on the project, Seven Lions shared:
“This album is about feeling increasingly out of place in the current media landscape… there’s just so much noise. I wanted to reconnect with what originally made me fall in love with making music. It’s a statement of individuality and acceptance that I have no ‘place’ in EDM other than the one I make for myself.”
