The Ukrainian experimental project New Laconia presents its new single, “Journey to the Past” – an atmospheric and deeply emotional composition that blends philosophical introspection, musical experimentation, and is a crucial piece of an overarching storyline.
At the heart of the track is The Traveler, lost between worlds, who stumbles into the mystical pub Stardust Bear Bazaar. In search of peace, he finds only fragments of memories, a strange sense of deja vu, and a mysterious character who disappeared in a time loop at the beginning of the album. This is the climax of New Laconia’s audio narrative, the moment where the hero, the music, and the listener merge into one.
“Journey to the Past” is a dedication to the 17-year-old self – self-the one who had just started making music, without knowing why, but with absolute certainty that there was no other way. It’s a track for anyone who has searched for themselves, gotten lost, and returned to piece together something new.
Its sound carries cinematic depth, indie nostalgia, and the energy of inner rupture. This is music for those brave enough to look within, unafraid to take a step back to move forward truly. It evokes that rare feeling: when a song gives you chills as if something essential just clicked into place.
“Journey to the Past” is now available on all music platforms. It’s more than a song. It’s a portal. Are you ready to enter?
