Ophelia Records was Dancing Astronaut's 2021 label of the year. [1] In an interview with Dancing Astronaut during the label's takeover of Electric Zoo in 2019, Seven Lions said, "My vision for Ophelia was just a place for me to put out my music, [But] everything changes. Within the last two or three months, our release schedule has gotten so busy that I’m struggling with where to put my [own] music." [2]

In 2022, Seven Lions released his debut album 'Beyond The Veil' on Ophelia Records. [3]
