SHARES STANDOUT RECORD AMBROXYDE (LP)
OUT NOW
HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF THIS SEPTEMBER
“He bounces between soft folk and rugged southern rock. Today, he’s shared another single called “Wildfire” that (ironically) feels perfect to blare outside in the blossoming weather.”
Stereogum on “Wildfire”
“An elevation of FELLY’s jangle-pop directive, refining his already dream-seeped atmospheres with a buoyant rhythm section and a bed of delicate vocal melodies.”
Paste Magazine on ” High On You”
“There’s a quiet kind of magic to Felly’s “Ambroxyde” – a dreamy, gentle indie folk meditation that stirs the soul in ways I still can’t quite articulate.”
Atwood Magazine on “Ambroxyde”
“Ambroxyde” drips like incense smoke—slow, heady, and intoxicating. It’s a genre-blurring haze of psychedelia, R&B, and coastal cool, delivered with lyrical mystique.”
Glasse Factory on “High On You”
“Felly has continued to step into different comfort zones…and comes full circle as a stronger lyricist and storyteller.”
American Songwriter
“Felly is back to his independent roots”
Beats Per Minute
“[Felly’s] gathered a growing fan base along the way, with his laid-back demeanor and experimental approach”

Connecticut-born, Los Angeles-based artist Felly is back today with the release of his standout record, Ambroxyde (LP). Produced alongside Grammy-nominated and Mercury Prize-winning producer Gianluca Buccellati (Lana Del Rey, Arlo Parks, The Marias), the album was created across a range of remote and inspiring locations—from the northernmost tip of Iceland to the sun-drenched Greek island of Hydra, to Tornillo, Texas.
Across its 12 distinct tracks, Ambroxyde (LP) marks a bold new chapter for the ever-evolving artist. With Ambroxyde (LP), Felly dives deeper than he ever has. He made his name as a rapper and producer, but on the album, Felly taps into the indie and alternative music that has always soundtracked his life. This isn’t Felly 2.0 – it’s Felly as he has always been, removed from all expectation. “This is the album I’ve always wanted to make,” he says.
Last week, Felly shared the latest tease of the record with the lilting “Route 44,” a pure love song. Watch HERE.

Flóki Studios sits at the northernmost point of Iceland on a sliver of land abetted on both sides by water. On lucky nights, that water reflects the enchanting Aurora Borealis. Those lights drew Christian Robert Felner, BKA Felly, to Flóki, where he recorded part of his striking new album, Ambroxyde (LP). The title refers to a synthetic molecule found in perfume and the scent memories that carry us from one stage of life into the next.“ Ambroxyde (LP) is the start of something new being born,” Felly says.
To make Ambroxyde (LP), Felly chased inspiration outside of his familiar Los Angeles. Accompanied by producer Gianluca Buccellati, he traveled to remote parts of California and far-flung parts of the world. “Luca approaches production holistically. He’ll pick up a project and work with the artist for a long time,” Felly says. In this case, the duo spent over a year on the road together between Felly’s tour dates. “We went to Iceland first where we were really far from the rest of the world and could really tune out any type of influence.” They wrote “Wildfire” inspired in part by the remote, natural beauty of their surroundings. Its chorus blows in like an unanticipated gale-force wind as Felly sings: “Come around like a wildfire/ When my wells run dry/ You fill my desire/ And make it all feel alright.”
Beyond Iceland, they wrote and recorded on the Greek island of Hydra, where cars have been banned since the 1950s and Felly could record at all hours of the night surrounded by crystalline Mediterranean water. There’s a hazy road narrative to be found on Ambroxyde (LP), heard especially on songs like “High on You” and “Route 44,” wherein whole passing days are distilled into a single detail. Felly wrapped the Ambroxyde (LP) at the storied Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, TX, alongside a group of eleven musicians, ten of whom he’s worked with on past tours and records. This tightknit group of longtime collaborators weaved the disparate threads of Ambroxyde (LP) together over the course of two weeks. “I pieced this record together over a year or so writing almost entirely just me and the guitar. It’s my first proper ‘studio’ album which is crazy to think about – First time you can hear all my friends actually playing with me.” Though the pieces of Ambroxyde (LP) were recorded across long distances, they converged in post-production. Each song on the album combines takes from the various studios Felly and Buccellati frequented over a transformative year. “As we pieced these songs together, we tried to catch the soul of different places we’d been. On a single song we might take the Greece drums, the Iceland vocals, and the guitars from Sonic Ranch,” Felly says.
That patchwork process contributes to the textural, sensory experience of the album. When Felly talks about Ambroxyde (LP), he tends to speak visually, using words like “dark indigo purple, northern sky at night, sunset” to describe it.
While Ambroxyde (LP) might mark a departure for Felly, he is still operating on a continuum. “This album might put people off who maybe hold me to a certain version of myself. “I’ve got to be honest with where I am, and who I am,” he reflects. That message of preserving authenticity resounds on “Black Shoes,” which has been sitting in Felly’s audio notes for years “just waiting for some context.” That context took time and experience to reveal itself. “I wrote that song when I was feeling wrapped up in a situation that didn’t feel right to me anymore,” he says. “It’s always nice when something you think is dead pokes its head up and takes in the light.” Like that song, this album didn’t emerge from the ether; it is in conversation with past iterations of an artist in a constant state of becoming. “It’s about coming into your being,” Felly says. With Ambroxyde (LP), Felly is closer to his truest self than he’s ever been as he continues to create authentically over vast physical and emotional distances.
