»Artifact« marks a new chapter in Parov Stelar's creative career. For the album, the Austrian was inspired by fragments of memory, parallel worlds and the fleeting nature of the moment. The tracks move between swinging pop and electronic concepts, late romantic grandeur and cinematic power. Musically, this results in a very open and emotional language: electronic sounds merge with classical orchestration, strings, piano and expansive soundscapes unfold alongside pulsating beats and great melodies. It's a sound that relies less on hooks and more on atmosphere, on musical associations instead of linearity - and culminates in hits like »Rebel Love«, »Falling Into Time« and the Artifact version of Lana Del Rey's »Art Deco« (only included on the CD version).
