FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARSADI – Neon Moonlight

Out now via Rexius Records - Waterfall release with Closer and Towards a Remedy

Under city-glow and strobe-lit memory, ARSADI’s “Neon Moonlight” captures the instant everything turns vivid: a dance-ready groove, shimmering synths, and chiming guitars carrying a vocal that feels both intimate and cinematic. The track unfolds like a night you don’t want to end—tight verses that breathe, pre-choruses that lift, and a widescreen refrain that lands with romantic inevitability.Harmonies bloom, bass and drums lock into a buoyant pocket, and subtle production details—stereo flourishes, spatial delays, percussive turns—open the mix without crowding the story.

Lyrically, “Neon Moonlight” revisits first-spark moments with painterly images—May rain on rooftops, student nations, ringing church bells—and turns them into a promise: some nights are more than haze; they redefine the map. That blend of emotional precision and euphoric motion is ARSADI’s signature—indie pop built for movement, with a philosopher’s heart.

"Neon Moonlight" was created by Anthony Bachtiar, Nils Öberg and Malkolm Bonander and shaped alongside producer/mixer Christoffer Parning Finnson and mastering engineer Jacob Alberts, the single anchors a three-track arc with Closer and Towards a Remedy. It’s Swedish indie pop with poptimist lift and live-show adrenaline—equally at home on late-night drives and festival afternoons—speaking to fans of Deportees, Shout Out Louds, Parcels and the wider modern indie landscape.

ARSADI crafts emotionally rich indie rock shaped by shimmering synths, rhythmic guitar work, and sweeping vocals. Based in Uppsala, Sweden, their sound blends alt-leaning rock with the infectious energy of arena pop—perfect for euphoric playlists and emotionally charged road trip soundtracks. Fans of kent, Deportees, Shout Out Louds, and Coldplay will feel right at home in ARSADI’s lyrically rich world full of high emotion and captivating anthems.

Formed after frontman Anthony Bachtiar returned from music studies in London, ARSADI grew from solo demos into a full band driven by artistic exploration and playful energy. The group—Anthony, Nils Öberg, Feria Hikmet, and Malkolm Bonander—earned early acclaim through groove-tinged, eclectic pop that evolved into a bold, unified sound: Indie rock with soaring melodies, textured production, anthemic pop hooks, and emotional resonance.

Their 2023 EP Introspections marked a turning point, praised for its polished production and lyrical depth. Tracks like Overcome the Night and Fade In Fade Out explore anxiety, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness through poetic allegories and references to literature and visual art.

After winning regional competitions and repeatedly playing the biggest stage at Uppsala's Kulturnatten Festival, ARSADI enters a new chapter with Rexius Records. A fresh wave of releases will continue channeling their emotionally driven, high-energy sound toward the big stage.

"I don’t get it how they manage to succeed time after time. I’m still blown away of how good, professional and magnificent their music is. […] So extremely many people deserve to hear it because it is truly, sincerely, genuinely good. I really hope that more people will find ARSADI!"

"They always succeed with the art of outperforming themselves, to develop the band, tweak some knobs here and there so that the soundscape becomes more grandiose and magnificent for every release. ‘If You Were Mine’ is no exception. Upbeat. Contagious. Soaring. Majestic. All ingredients that (I hope) will take ARSADI out to the greater mass."

"ARSADI unleashes a musical daydream with, ‘If You Were Mine’, a track detailing the vivid imagination of a future based upon nothing more than the sight of a complete stranger. [...] The vocal style fits that dreamy vibe and the melody is soft and engaging. There is a definite Coldplay aura to this single, and the energy builds as the track progresses to keep you immersed in the lyrics and performance"
