Music has the power to open inner worlds – crafted from voices, sounds, and emotions that resonate deep within the soul. Today, AURI invites listeners into their ethereal soundscape with the release of ‘Museum Of Childhood‘, the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album, III – Candles & Beginnings, out August 15, 2025.
‘Museum Of Childhood‘ is a vibrantly beautiful composition, stirring emotion and sending shivers down the spine. It is a shining example of AURI‘s ability to transport listeners away from the noise of reality into a dreamlike realm of serenity and wonder.
Accompanying the single is a stunning music video that immerses viewers in AURI‘s enchanted world – where light and shadow dance with emotion and imagination.
Open your heart and ears. Let AURI be the beacon of light that guides you through the dreamscape.
Johanna Kurkela comments: “As we venture deeper into the enchanting realm of our new album ‘Candles & Beginnings’, we take flight on the wings of imagination, across the safe havens of our hearts, into the ‘Museum of Childhood’.”
