Freeport, NY word-smith Spaceman returns with new single “Mumblecore.” Featuring his former Inner City Kids Collective co-horts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal the track lives up to his musical moniker as this genre-bending joint sounds like intergalactic street hustler music. Head-nodding, hypnotic and at times stereo-rattling, the two lyricists speak gully, distorting the lines between urban city and outer cosmos.

Speaking on the single, Spaceman said “This is the first song in a series I’ve titled “Social Skills” which is both a reference to the three (soon to be four) projects I’ve released in the last few years that feature no other artists and also my willingness to step out of my comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers whose skills I respect. Like irony you know, ‘haha’.”

Enlisting a myriad of different collaborators, the forthcoming singles demonstrate an artist who enjoys flexing in multiple styles while always focusing on his messages and his bars. Most recently Spaceman released the Annihilation LP which yielded the singles “Law” and “Thrift And Diligence” (links below)

The Secret Radio Release “Swimming Pool On Mars”

Indie rock band The Secret Radio are back with their new single, “Swimming Pool On Mars” and it is a bold, atmospheric tune that blends poetic lyrics with sweeping, cinematic soundscapes. It’s out now on all major streaming platforms and stands as a clear highlight from their newly released debut album, “Shortwave”.

Originally formed in Queens, New York back in 2006, The Secret Radio is led by English singer-songwriter Damian Fowler and it features a revolving lineup of international collaborators. Known for fusing diverse influences—from David Bowie and Radiohead to Regina Spektor—their music is a unique mix of experimental and accessible, with a clear artistic vision.

“Swimming Pool On Mars” progresses with vigour with layers of synths, violins, horns, and more rising to a lush, cinematic crescendo. The song features contributions from Bebbo (guitar), Asen Doykin (synths), JungSang Yoo (bass), and Tom Cottone (drums), with production and mixing handled by Doykin. The result is rich and textured, yet still grounded in the organic, heartfelt sound that defines the band.

Their debut album Shortwave expands on this sound even further. Alongside the single, the album features appearances from Martin Doykin (bass), Jane Kittredge (violins), Naeemah Z. Maddox (backing vocals), Dean Olsher (accordion), and Nick Vayenas (horns). Mastered by Adrian Morgan at Timeless Mastering, the project is a true team effort—one that highlights The Secret Radio’s collaborative spirit and commitment to exploration.
