Felix Antonio, the latest addition to the InFiné roster, will release Felix Antonio & The Sea, a seven-track folk indie EP, on September 18. This debut project marks a key milestone in the career of this young artist, who was selected for the Chantier des Francofolies de La Rochelle this year.
The sea is the common thread of the seven tracks on the EP: a metaphorical figure, regenerative, and a source of hope and renewal in the face of an oppressive world. It is a refuge where one can reconnect with the essentials, with the elements, with the great outdoors, and with a sense of simplicity.
With a resolutely indie folk sound, this EP draws on contemporary and classic influences. One can perceive the influence of Sufjan Stevens, James Blake, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The writing blends timeless themes with a modern aesthetic, combining refined sound design, subtle field recordings, and the detailed approach of the InFiné universe. This EP marks a turning point for a new generation, as Felix Antonio reflects on personal growth, letting go of past patterns, and moving beyond his Silk Sin Lovers project toward a freer, more authentic expression.
This transformation is reflected in the music: brighter harmonies, more major keys, and lyrics that balance melancholy with hope. Felix Antonio frames optimism as a political act and rejecting cynicism as resistance.
A tender, almost raw nostalgia emerges—imagining a tech‑raised Generation Z reinterpreting the spirit of flower power.
With Felix, following Léonie Pernet and François & the Atlas Mountains, InFiné continues to broaden its scope, shaping the future with a refined, impressionistic touch.

About Félix Antonio
Born in Normandy in 2001, Felix Antonio was immersed in music from an early age, thanks to this music-loving father. He even joined a choir as a young boy. This musical journey continued when he learned to play the clarinet, piano, and guitar, while his teenage years were influenced by the discovery of new wave, Britpop, and folk. At 17, he moved to Paris and formed the indie pop band Silk Skin Lovers. The group found success with several million streams worldwide before disbanding in 2023.
Just a few years older than Sombr, Felix (a devoted Phoebe Bridgers fan) is now stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, revealing his full range as a singer-songwriter and performer. Early in 2024, he independently released his debut EP, Simpler Times. Across seven tracks, he unveils a delicate and sensitive world, his voice recalling the sweet tones of Bon Iver and Tamino. These early songs quickly marked him as an exceptional talent, catching the attention of the InFiné label with the depth of his songwriting and the healing power of his melodies.
Together, they’ve embarked on a long journey—one that aims to share the restorative beauty of Felix Antonio’s music with the world.
