VELVET MOON dropped their fifth album, Endless War In The Summer, on May 23, 2025, through Argle Bargle Studios, and it’s a restless, shimmering beast. This Stockholm trio—Sandra Bjurman on lyrics, Stefan Örn and Johan Glössner shaping the sound—has racked up 15 million streams with their dreamy indie-pop vibe. This time, they’ve leaned hard into sultry synths and lyrics that cut deep, like the standout ‘This Time (It’s Forever)’, a track that’s equal parts heartbreak and hope. It’s got echoes of Fleetwood Mac’s brooding romance and Chappell Roan’s bold sparkle, wrapped in an 80s haze that feels lived-in, not borrowed. CLASH and METAL Magazine are all over it, NPR Music loved their last live EP, and their fans—spanning Gen X to Zoomers—can’t get enough. This isn’t just another album; it’s a collision of now and forever.

To make timeless music is to chase something bigger than the moment—to scream into the void and hope the echo lasts. It’s not about perfection; it’s about raw, messy truth that sticks, like how Bob Dylan’s gravelly rants still hit or how Nina Simone’s voice feels like it’s mourning your own ghosts. VELVET MOON gets that with Endless War In The Summer. They’re not chasing TikTok trends—they’re digging into the muck of love, doubt, and the world’s contradictions, then dressing it in synths that hum like a memory you can’t shake. The album’s got this bruised beauty, a sound that could’ve spilled out of a 1970s vinyl stack or a 2040 playlist. It’s timeless not because it’s untouchable, but because it’s unafraid to bleed—and that’s what keeps it alive.

The band says it themselves: this record “reflects on the ever-present dualities of today’s society,” and that’s the thread that ties it to something eternal. Love versus chaos, hope against despair—these aren’t new fights. They’re the same ones troubadours sang about in medieval courts, the same ones that fueled Woodstock, the same ones we’ll still be wrestling with when the summers run out. By laying them bare, VELVET MOON builds a bridge across time. What’s next for them? They’ve cracked open a vein here, and it’s hard to imagine them stopping. Maybe they’ll strip it down further, or maybe they’ll soar into something wilder—but whatever it is, they’re not done haunting us, and that’s a damn good thing.
