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.

EMEREE doesn’t just make music—she curates moments. Her latest single “Eyesore” is a cinematic, sarcastic scorcher that sets a new tone for the rising Australian powerhouse. From the candy-coated production to the horror-tinged DIY music video, EMEREE is creating her own genre: camp pop noir.
The single is a masterclass in balancing artistry with attitude. Co-created with Christian Tjandrawinata, “Eyesore” proves EMEREE isn’t here to play safe. She plays sharp, with razor-lined harmonies and lyricism that stabs with a smile. It’s not just catchy—it’s calculated. The beat bounces, the vocals glide, but it’s the burn in the lines that lingers.
Visually, EMEREE doubles down. The music video is a bloody wink to 80s slasher films, with a narrative as satirical as it is symbolic. She doesn’t just kill her ex on screen—she kills the whole trope. Pop stars often tell stories of heartbreak. EMEREE turns it into performance art.
EMEREE says, “Eyesore” is the anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it.”
EMEREE is making noise for all the right reasons—and with creative backing from CAA and sessions alongside Nile Rodgers and Invisible Men, she’s not just rising. She’s plotting her pop empire. “Eyesore” is both a warning shot and a love letter to anyone who’s ever made revenge their aesthetic.
It’s the start of something bold—and we’re already obsessed.
