Following the debut album Yume, FLOYA embark on one final journey through the dreamlike world they've crafted — before setting course for new sonic frontiers.
"CLOUD9" is the explosive send-off, an adrenaline-fueled fusion of rock, hyperpop, and drum and bass/jungle that pushes the band's dynamic range to new heights.
Driven by pulsating electronic beats, "CLOUD9" bridges the ethereal soundscapes of Yume with the raw intensity of what's to come. Lyrically, the song is a moment of clarity—"I see you, I know who you are, but you’re not even in my orbit anymore." It's a euphoric rush— both a celebration and a transition — announcing a more grounded chapter in FLOYA's evolution.
The music video, filmed in Tokyo and Osaka, captures this shift. Neon-lit streets and vast cityscapes provide the perfect setting for a track that’s all about moving forward without looking back.

Floya Share "Lights Out" Video
FLOYA are dropping the video for "Lights Out," and it's special release for them, as it was the first song they ever wrote and recorded.
Watch the video below.
"We were jamming somewhere in Norway when we stumbled upon the main riff of the song. Phil went straight into the recording booth and laid down some sketches, it was very natural. I feel like 'Lights Out' is an homage to our musical roots; we were very different people when we wrote that one. Lyrically, it’s probably the darkest one we did, but the topic it tackles is so important. It's an amazing feeling to now release it after all this time — it's very humbling," says Marv Wilder.
"Lights Out" shines as a standout track on Floya's electrifying debut album, Yume, out March 8 through Arising Empire.
Yume is available as CD, limited colored vinyl variants, together with unique merch options at the Arising Empire Online Shop.
Th album was recorded and produced by Chris Kempe (Embark Audio), and mastered by Robin Schmidt.
Caught between the stomping beats and airy synths of the EDM world and the overall feel of a modern rock band, FLOYA are a truly special duo.
Hailing from Germany, Marv Wilder and Phil Bayer found common ground by talking about their childhood influences, namely Peter Gabriel, U2, and Sting. With the vision in mind to fuse a fresh pop rock sound with the aesthetics of EDM and world music, the pair set out to showcase what's rarely found on todays music market.
After the successful launch of "The Hymn," the song was featured in an official AFL game between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs on Australian Television, marking quite the achievement for an act that’s been public for only a few months.
FLOYA also received praise in the form of airplay by Kerrang! Radio (UK) and Radio Contact (BE).

Floya Announce Debut Album "Yume" + Share "Drift" Video
FLOYA ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM YUME OUT MARCH 8 VIA ARISING EMPIRE
BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR "DRIFT"
FLOYA like to infuse hope into each track they release. Their latest single, "Drift," is no exception. The duo elevates listeners with powerful, airy synths, Marv's guitar riffs, and Phil's angelic voice.
Watch the video below.
"Drift" is filled with genre-bending moments and conveys a clear message: Do what you love; there's not enough time for anything else.
"I don't think I've ever written a song this honest before," says singer Phil. "I've grappled with ambivalent emotions toward my career, to be completely transparent. There were moments when I doubted whether I could continue doing what I love. I turned my back on music for a while and, as a result, lost a significant part of my identity. 'Drift' is about precisely that: Dealing with ambivalence, overcoming doubts, and enabling you to continue doing what you love."
Floya will release their debut album, Yume scheduled to drop on March 8. Pre-orders will launch this coming Friday!
Th album was recorded and produced by Chris Kempe (Embark Audio), and mastered by Robin Schmidt.
