Now that The Throes of Winter have melted, it’s time to enter the Summer of the Occult with Seven Lions.
Much like he did with his last release earlier this year, Seven Lions is celebrating the forthcoming extended player with an accompanying North American tour. Teasing fans on his social media accounts by slowly releasing the names of each city that will host the tour, the cat is (almost) out of the bag and the Summer of the Occult tour is ready to come to a city near you!

Falling Away with Summer
It’s now been five years since Seven Lions’ first release and the California native continues to expand his sound each year. Though he is initially known for his melodic brand of dubstep, earlier this year, Seven Lions took a step away from the melodic side of things to create songs with big room moments and expansive soundscapes on The Throes of Winter EP. Instead of perpetuating industry trends, Seven Lions has built a vision that encompasses a series of EPs as a larger body of work, “Since artists aren’t releasing proper albums anymore, it makes sense to create something that’s digitally artistic with real cohesion as opposed to tossing out singles and just haphazardly seeing what sticks.”

Always willing to break rules and transcend musical boundaries, the first single from Seven Lions’ forthcoming Summer of the Occult EP does just that. Out on August 14th via Casablanca Records, “Falling Away” mixes sonics with the uplifting vocals of Lights, creating a four-on-the-floor rhythm riddled with the washes of summer.
