DJ SG Lewis announced that his third studio album Anemoia will be released September 5th via Forever Days which is his own personal record label. Starting at ACL in Austin on September 5, the 14-date tour will take the multi-talented artist across multiple states this fall. I’ve never personally listened to SG Lewis before until this press release and the second I started listening to “Back of My Mind“; I instantly became a fan because of the melancholic energy SG Lewis expresses in his music.

Named after the word that describes a nostalgia for a time never personally experienced, Anemoia explores SG’s long-standing fascination with past eras of dance music, refining an emotional sound that draws as much from early trance, Balearic house, and 2000s electronica as it does modern pop songwriting.

“When I discovered the word Anemoia, it articulated a feeling I’d struggled to describe for so long — a nostalgia for times I never lived through,” SG says. “Throughout my career, I’ve often referenced past eras of music, studying them inside out to understand their cultural and technical history. In doing so, I started to question my emotional connection to those times, and why they left such a mark on me. This album is rooted in the dancefloor, and even its quieter moments are shaped by Balearic sounds that are influenced from spending a lot of time in Ibiza last summer. I think a lot of the music carries an undertone of melancholy, even when it feels high in energy. More than anything, I want Anemoia to be a soundtrack to living in the present — to creating the kind of moments that others might one day feel nostalgic for.” – SG Lewis
