Figaro is an ambitious messenger of Finnish psychedelic pop, whose new album Taivaankappaleet (Celestial Bodies) was released in February 2025. Self-produced by the artist, the album steps into the same canon as the likes of Pariisin Kevät, Saimaa, MGMT, Gorillaz, and Tame Impala. The album’s focus track Kun mä tapasin sut (“When I Met You”) also won MTV’s Levyraati competition.

Figaro’s lyrical and sonic world expands the mind, aiming to provide a temporary hideaway from the worries of everyday life. The band’s sound and layered harmonies are easy to get lost in—both on record and in their live performances.
