Acclaimed producer, DJ, and visionary artist Seven Lions returns with his latest single, “So Far Away (feat. Lilly Ahlberg),” out October 15. Serving as the second release from his forthcoming album Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, arriving December 12, 2025, the track deepens the album’s emotive and melodic world, showcasing Seven Lions’ signature balance of beauty and intensity.
A mesmerizing melodic drum and bass composition, “So Far Away” captures the raw ache of distance and desire. Built around soaring melodies, layered percussion, and an undercurrent of introspective energy, the song reflects its emotional core — longing for someone just out of reach — while evoking both movement and melancholy.
The single features Lilly Ahlberg, a Swedish-born, UK-based singer-songwriter known for her emotive tone and poetic lyricism. With previous collaborations alongside S.P.Y and Etherwood, Ahlberg brings a haunting warmth to “So Far Away,” her voice seamlessly entwined with Seven Lions’ sweeping, cinematic production.
Following September’s “By the Light of the Moon (feat. Kerli),” the new track offers another glimpse into Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars, a record that finds Seven Lions returning to his roots while venturing further into uncharted sonic territory. Drawing inspiration from his early influences in trance and metal, the album expands his emotional storytelling, delivering a deeply personal and artistically liberated statement.
Reflecting 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 I wanted to turn away from all that and reconnect with what originally made me fall in love with making music. It’s definitely a statement of individuality and acceptance that I have no ‘place’ in EDM other than the one I make for myself.”
Known offstage as Jeff Montalvo, Seven Lions has spent over a decade redefining the boundaries of electronic music. From his breakthrough remix of Above & Beyond’s “You Got to Go” to acclaimed releases on Anjunabeats, OWSLA, Casablanca Records, and his own Ophelia Records, his sound bridges melodic bass, trance, and emotional storytelling. His 2022 album Beyond the Veil and collaborations with Illenium, Tove Lo, Gryffin, Skylar Grey, and Noah Kahan have solidified his reputation as one of the most dynamic and influential artists in dance music.
A top-tier live performer, Seven Lions has headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre, LA State Historic Park, and Tacoma Dome, and performed at global festivals including Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Electric Forest. Meanwhile, his label Ophelia Records continues to thrive as a leading force in melodic bass, championing emerging artists and amassing over a billion streams worldwide.
With “So Far Away,” Seven Lions delivers a powerful reflection on distance, devotion, and emotional resilience — a track that continues the narrative of Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars while reaffirming his unmatched ability to craft music that resonates far beyond the dancefloor.
