Seven Lions returns on April 3 with his new single ‘Free,’ the second release from his forthcoming EP The Dreams Strange and Eternal, set to arrive May 1 via Ophelia Records. Alongside the release, fans will also have the opportunity to engage directly with the track through an official ‘Free’ remix contest.
Expanding on the mythic sonic universe introduced in his 2025 album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, ‘Free’ continues the immersive storytelling that has come to define this era of Seven Lions’ music. The single builds on the album’s atmospheric foundation while pushing into new emotional and stylistic territory, further developing the narrative world he has carefully constructed.
With The Dreams Strange and Eternal, Seven Lions delivers a companion piece that exists within the same celestial framework as its predecessor. Where Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars reconnected him with the inspirations that shaped his earliest productions, the upcoming EP extends that vision—expanding the sonic palette while exploring new creative ground within the same universe.
True to its title, ‘Free’ transcends traditional dance music boundaries. The track blends soaring trance melodies and euphoric vocal moments with shimmering builds that give way to explosive melodic dubstep drops. At the same time, luminous piano house chords introduce an unexpected warmth, adding lift and contrast to the composition. The result is a fluid, genre-spanning production that maintains the sweeping emotional intensity that has defined Seven Lions’ sound for more than a decade.
As the second single from The Dreams Strange and Eternal, ‘Free’ offers a deeper look into the scope of the project while maintaining a strong connection to the album that inspired it. Together, the EP’s tracks act as an extended chapter in the evolving story first introduced in Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars.
The release also arrives as Seven Lions prepares to bring this world to life on stages across North America this spring. Known for his immersive production and emotionally charged performances, the tour will include headline shows at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Brooklyn Storehouse, and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
From his breakout moment winning a 2012 remix contest for Above & Beyond to building Ophelia Records into one of the most influential labels in melodic bass, Seven Lions has amassed more than a billion streams while cultivating one of the most dedicated fan communities in electronic music. With Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, he paid tribute to the sound and spirit that first inspired his journey. Now, with The Dreams Strange and Eternal and its latest single ‘Free,’ he continues to expand that universe—bridging trance, melodic bass, and cinematic storytelling into a singular, evolving vision.
