NEW ALBUM: SOLAR FIELDS – FORMATIONS

Posted on by magnus

Hello everyone!

Im extremely happy to annouce that my upcoming album SOLAR FIELDS – FORMATIONS will be released on the 4th of November 2022, Vinyl – CD – Digital and also as a beautiful T-Shirt.

Pre-orders has started today at sidereal.

Vinyl and CD include a 16 page booklet with artwork made by yours truly.


Scheduled for release November 4th on both CD and 2LP, Formations, the new full-length studio work by Magnus Birgersson musical alter ego, is about to see the light. When asked to provide some insights about the album, Solar Fields underlined that every track comes in a different form, shape and emotion. Each song conveys different moods and the sound palette varies from melancholic to joyful, dark to bright, taking its time to plant their seeds into their listener.

This is what you shall expect from Formations: a broad spectrum of sounds and emotions. As always when it comes to the works of Solar Fields, you will find yourself amazed by new details and shades at every further spin.

A kaleidoscopic effort, Solar Fields new album may very well be the right choice for every mood you fall into, just tune it to the right track and you’ll see…

Origin # 01 Remastered preorder

Posted on by magnus

Solar Fields Origin # 01 Remastered is now ready for pre-order.
CD release: 30 September
Vinyl Release: 7 October
Digital Release: 7 October

Preorders here: https://sidereal.bigcartel.com/

The quest for a complete Solar Fields reissue collection continues here at Sidereal, and this time we bring back to light the first instalments in Magnus Birgersson’s unfinished tracks archive.

Origin #01, originally released in 2010, was the first compilation of Solar Fields finished unfinished pieces. A series of audio stems born in various periods of time, in this case from 2002 to 2008, then completed and refined.

Such a genesis makes the Origin series something different in the Solar Fields catalog, as the usual consistency and unity of Magnus’s studio albums is nowhere to be found here, in favor of a multi-faceted, various and fragmented approach. Every track is completely different from the other, and you never know what’s lying behind the next corner. Every note sounds 101% Solar Fields, but the spectre covered by Origin #01 was an entirely different width compared to what the Swedish producer released until that moment.

Posted on by magnus

Hello all! 🙂

Solar Fields – Earthshine (remastered) now out. Originally released in 2007 and never reissued, Earthshine is a Solar Fields trance album. On his fifth studio record, Magnus Birgersson took a detour and explored the nooks of psytrance music, crafting his own version of it.

On Earthshine, Solar Fields typical ambient soundscapes are just part of the equation, now enriched with upbeats dancing melodies.

Fourteen years later, Earthshine is back to light and gives these eight tracks a wax treatment for the very first time. Come join Solar Fields upbeat trip across our planet.
