Artifact marks a bold new chapter for Parov Stelar — a fusion of vivid pop, cinematic electronica, and emotional depth. Blending orchestral grandeur with pulsating beats, it’s an immersive journey through memory, feeling, and imagination.

With Artifact, Austrian producer and composer Parov Stelar opens an entirely new chapter in his artistic evolution. Drawing inspiration from fragments of memory, parallel worlds, and the fleeting nature of the moment, the album captures a deep sense of emotion and creative freedom.

Musically, Artifact moves effortlessly between vibrant pop energy and electronic sophistication, combining late-romantic grandeur with cinematic scope. Electronic textures intertwine with classical orchestration, where strings, piano, and sweeping soundscapes unfold alongside pulsating rhythms and grand melodies.

Rather than relying on catchy hooks, Parov Stelar focuses on atmosphere and feeling — crafting songs that invite listeners to explore rather than simply follow. Highlights include “Rebel Love”, “Falling Into Time”, and the stunning Artifact reinterpretation of Lana Del Rey’s “Art Deco” (exclusive to the CD edition).

Despite its conceptual richness, Artifact remains deeply personal. As Parov Stelar himself puts it:

“I never made music to look cool. I was never afraid of the big melody, never afraid of my feelings.”

That honesty and artistic courage permeate every track, resulting in a record that feels both timeless and contemporary. Artifact is not an album that seeks to impress — it invites you to listen, feel, and discover.

An evocative and daring release from one of Europe’s most imaginative musical voices.
