The Secret Radio Return

Indie rock group The Secret Radio have gradually found a special place for themselves in the music scene. Known for their varied inspirations and energetic discography, the band combines atmospheric arrangements, clever lyrics, and varied instrumentation that captivates. Building on their unique sound, their new track, "Swimming Pool On Mars," is an exciting and adventurous release and it provides a window inside their debut album "Shortwave".

"Swimming Pool On Mars" is a deft mix of complex sound and emotionally intense narratives. The sound of the band changes often which I like, and this song wonderfully captures their ability to strike a mix between dreamlike, ethereal qualities and rock vitality. Particularly referencing legendary musicians like David Bowie, Radiohead, and Regina Spektor, the influences of The Secret Radio are clear-cut From the atmospheric soundscapes to the occasionally mysterious poetry and it is evident that every one of these musicians has helped to shape the band's musical attitude.

The track starts with a strong piano motif that defines the tone of the song, its framework is a trip in and itself. The song's basis is built by a consistent percussion and sharp guitar chords that follow this attention-grabbing opening, therefore enabling Damian Fowler's raw but melodic vocals to stand out. Throughout the track, Damian's vocal serves as the compass. His vocal approach allows him to portray strong feeling, therefore giving the song a layer of intimacy and a strong contrast to the broad instrumental terrain.

Beyond its unique qualities, "Swimming Pool On Mars" is part of a greater story that runs over the band's debut album, Shortwave. Also available to stream now, the album provides a cinematic and personal listening experience. Combining indie rock intensity with dreamy, ambient soundscapes, The Secret Radio shows throughout Shortwave their ability to create songs that are at once contemplative and expansive.
