Minutes From Heaven marks the most intimate and instinctive chapter in the journey of Barcelona’s Celestial Bums. Written between 2023 and 2024 during a period of profound personal transformation for Japhy Ryder, the album emerged from necessity rather than ambition or strategy. After the more elaborate constructions of previous records, the band deliberately returns to immediacy, instinct, and identity, delivering a body of work that feels vulnerable, luminous, and deeply honest — their closest reconnection with their true DNA since the early days.
Shaped by undercurrents of fatherhood, aging, and inner realignment, the album distills the band’s musical essence with renewed clarity. Reverb-soaked guitars, drifting synths, hypnotic rhythms, and ethereal vocal layers form an intimate “inner psychedelia” rooted in shoegaze, dream pop, and neo-psych. Minutes From Heaven stands as a document of transition and maturity: an inward-looking, emotionally resonant record where vulnerability becomes sound, and Celestial Bums deliver their most sincere and fully realized work to date.
