Mission to the Sun - Seven Years *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 27th June 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Mission to the Sun’s third album, Seven Years, marks a striking evolution for the project. While staying true to their signature blend of atmospheric sound design and spectral vocal séances, the duo pushes further into melodic territory, balancing accessibility with their core foundation of electronic noise and brooding textures. Christopher Samuels’ meticulous music production crafts a world of hypnotic rhythms, fractured melodies, and dense sonic landscapes, while Kirill Slavin’s unwavering vocals channel raw emotion, guiding the listener through themes of addiction, obsession, power’s corrupting influence, urban isolation, late-night vulnerability, and the inescapable physical constraints of reality itself.

From the relentless basslines and found samples of “Dead Friends”, which evoke the suffocating weight of factory life and lost potential, to “Black Hole Soul”, the album’s only track with a discernible beat, where Samuel’s lush organ synth and IDM-inflected rhythm provide a ghostly foundation for Slavin’s meditation on self-destruction, Seven Years is unrelenting in its depth. The closing track, “Infection”, swells with mournful intensity as Samuel’s string arrangements and piano lines intertwine, creating a final, scathing reflection on lost innocence and the irreversible passage of time. With Seven Years, Mission to the Sun refines and expands their sonic universe, pushing their sound into new emotional and melodic territory while retaining the raw, immersive atmosphere that defines their work. A record of transformation and reckoning, Seven Years stands as the duo’s most evocative and fully realized release to date.
