Listening to ceo is like stepping into a hyper-saturated, high-definition dream of a Mediterranean summer. The music is built on a foundation of 'Balearic' pop, characterized by warm synths, acoustic guitar flickers, and a sense of boundless, oceanic space. It is unashamedly big, reaching for a kind of spiritual euphoria that feels both deeply personal and stadium-sized.
What sets Eric Berglund's work apart is the tension between the polished, shimmering production and a sense of wild, unpredictable energy. There is a 'Sincerely Yours' label signature here: a mix of arrogance and vulnerability, where pitched-up vocal samples and heavy reverb create a sound that is both crystalline and slightly hallucinogenic. It is pop music that refuses to stay on the ground.
Start with the album White Magic. It is the definitive statement of the project's aesthetic, particularly the track 'Come With Me,' which perfectly captures the blend of tribal percussion and soaring, melodic synth-pop that defines the ceo sound.
