The Heart of the Sun - Blue Album (2025)

Filiph Antonsson comes from Sweden and creates an involving psychedelic pop that includes some great traits of the genre: catchy melodies, mesmerizing atmosphere and interesting lyrics. After years of singles, he finally released a longer album and it's absolutely worth checking out.

Sure, the multi-layered, dense music is great, the atmosphere captures you and doesn't let you out before the album ends, the vocals are dreamy and pleasant. But what I like the most about Antonsson's debut are the story-driven and very lyrical texts. Especially in Probably Not that gives me strong Grandaddy vibes which is a great compliment in my books. I feel like the two artists have a similar approach to music: the lyrical layer is the most important, but it has to be not too abstract and must be accompanied by at least equally intriguing music. It works so well in this single track.

But the further the album goes, the more psychedelic it gets. The space-like So Many Secrets to Reveal certainly doesn't sound like it will reveal any of said secrets. The psychedelia element is what drove me to the album, but the lyrical sensibility is what made me stay.

Blue Album costs 4.5 EUR (50 SEK).
