Jupiter Grey Unveils New Single “Fires On The Moon” From Upcoming Album
“An artist who leans into his 80s influences, Jupiter Grey’s experimental take on R&B utilises differing aspects”—CLASH
UK alternative R&B act Jupiter Grey has returned with his new single, “Fires On The Moon”. The track follows an impressive run of singles over the past year from the London-based artist, including “Is It Ever The Same” and “From 80’s With Love”. “Fires On The Moon” is the title track from Jupiter’s upcoming debut album and looks set to continue his impressive rise.
The new single keeps in line with Jupiter’s signature sound of fusing experimental and futuristic sounds with retro ‘80s influences. Standing out with its infectious melodies, catchy hook and potent songwriting, “Fires On The Moon” is another impressive entry into the rising musician’s growing discography and whets the appetite for the forthcoming album.
Speaking more on the new release, Jupiter says, “‘Fires On The Moon’ is about connecting with someone on such a deep and spiritual level that what you thought you knew about love feels like it was all in your head. I’m talking about the kind of love that you would go to the end of the world for, a love so out of this world that you would do something extreme and unexplained like setting fires on the moon.”
Getting more impressive with each release, Jupiter has proven once again why he’s one to watch. Bringing something fresh and dynamic to the R&B scene and continually experimenting with his sound, Jupiter remains one of the most exciting rising artists in the genre. And with his debut album right around the corner, expect to see and hear plenty more from Jupiter in 2022. “Fires On The Moon” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/firesonthemoon.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
